A distinct capsular layer was found on the surface of the cells of all these strains. Sialic acid, an integral part of all the conventional type polysaccharides of group-B streptococci, was also detected in all the strains examined. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/00222615-25-2-147
