Any process by which a polysaccharide is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location. The directed movement of polysaccharides into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. A polysaccharide is a polymer of more than about 10 monosaccharide residues joined by glycosidic linkages. The directed movement of carbohydrate into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Carbohydrates are any of a group of organic compounds based of the general formula Cx(H2O)y. The directed movement of capsular polysaccharides into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Capsular polysaccharides make up the capsule, a protective structure surrounding some species of bacteria and fungi.
