| Abstract | The type-specific capsular polysaccharide antigen of Streptococcus agalactiae is recognized to be an antiphagocytic factor in strains having large amounts of it. In the present study, it was indicated that vaginal isolates of types Ia and Ib could be classified into two groups on the basis of both their levels of the sialic acid, which occupies the terminal side chains of the polysaccharide, and their susceptibility to tetracyclines: one group comprised strains with low sialic acid levels (less than 9 micrograms/mg of cell dry weight) as well as with susceptibility to tetracyclines (MIC, less than or equal to 0.5 micrograms/ml), and the other comprised strains with higher sialic acid levels (greater than or equal to 9 micrograms/mg) and resistance to tetracyclines (MIC, greater than or equal to 8 micrograms/ml). A few isolates were found to have low levels of sialic acid and to be resistant to tetracyclines, but no isolates that were both relatively high in sialic acid and susceptible to tetracyclines were ever detected. Among strains of those serotypes, the MICs of tetracyclines were not in proportion to the sialic acid levels and were not affected when the sialic acid levels of each strain were altered by using Todd-Hewitt broth with various concentrations of Na2HPO4 and glucose. It was, therefore, apparent that the correlation of sialic acid levels with susceptibility to tetracyclines was not related directly to the sialic acid content or to the amount of the capsular polysaccharide. Since no plasmid DNAs were detected among representative strains that were tetracycline resistant, it was apparent that at least for the strains tested, resistance was chromosomal gene associated. In strains of S. agalactiae of types of Ia and Ib, the determination of susceptibility to tetracyclines was considered to be useful for screening strains with higher sialic acid levels. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
