Abstract
The new serological group ofStreptococcus sanguis provisionally ealled “group 10043” has been examined The group specific polysaccharide antigen was isolated and compared serologically and chemically with group H antigen fromS. sanguis strain 13843 and strain NCTC 7868 Challis. The results confirm thatS. sangruis strain 10043 (NCTC 11085, ATCC 29667) contains a new antigen which does not react in anti-group H serum, nor in other grouping sera against groups A through V. The group specific antigen isolated from strain 10043 does not contain rhamnose in contrast to the group H antigen. The new antigen appears to be analogous to the other streptococcal group antigens and to deserve recognition as such. The designation W is suggested for the new group antigen. All three antigens examined contain glucose.
