Bacterial polysaccharides represent a diverse range of macromolecules that include peptidoglycans (PGs), lipopolysaccharides (LPSs), teichoic acids (TAs) and capsular polysaccharides (CPSs). Their functions range from structural cell-wall components, important virulence factors, to permitting the bacterium to survive in harsh environments. Identifying and harnessing their structural and functional features of bacterial polysaccharides offers excellent opportunities for developing new vaccines and diagnostics in the fight against severe infectious diseases, such as sepsis, pneumonia, anthrax and tuberculosis. As major virulence factors, CPSs which consist of repeating units (RUs) have been investigated to confer immunological protection agai...
