✦ Synopsis

A newly isolated serogroup of Neisseria meningitidis (serogroup L), obtained from contacts of a patient with meningococcal meningitis, elaborates a structurally unique, capsular polysaccharide. The polysaccharide contains only 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucosyl and phosphate constituents in the molar ratio of 3:1, and is composed of the following repeating unit.

We investigated the population genetics in collections of meningococci sampled in Cuba during the period 1983-2005, thereby covering a period before and after the introduction of an antimeningococcal B-C vaccine. A total of 163 case isolates and 210 isolates from healthy carriers were characterized

Capsular polysaccharide (CPS) was obtained by water-saline extraction of the Alteromonas sp. CMM 155. On the basis of solvolysis with anhydrous HF and 1H-and 13C-NMR spectral data, including NOE experiments, it was concluded that the capsular polysaccharide had the following structure containing nov
