EXTRACELLULAR POLYSACCHARIDE OF MUCOID LACTOBACILLUS BIFIDUS.

Wang, Marian (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia), Edward Steers, and Robert F. Norris. Extracellular polysaccharide of mucoid Lactobacillus bifidus. J. Bacteriol. 86:898-903. 1963.-The extracellular polysaccharide produced by the "Jackson-mucoid" strain of Lactobacillus bifidus was isolated and purified by three different procedures. The component sugars of the polysaccharide were identified by paper chromatography and confirmed by infrared analysis. Galacturonic acid, galactose, glucose, and 6-deoxy-talose were identified. Contrary to a previous report from this laboratory, fucose was not found to be a component of this polysaccharide.

Protective effects of human milk in experimental staphylococcus infection.

Mice were given human milk and sublethal doses of virulent Staphylococcus aureus subcutaneously on 7 to 14 consecutive days. When mice of this group and mice of control groups were later challenged through intraperitoneal injection of a lethal dose of the same Staphylococcus aureus, the death rate for the experimental group was found to be much lower than the death rate for the controls.
