Abstract: | The core regions of the lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Klebsiella pneumoniae serotypes O1, O2a, O2a,c, O3, O4, O5, O8, and O12 were analysed using NMR spectroscopy, ESI-MS spectroscopy, and chemical methods. All the LPSs had similar core structures, as shown below, differing only in the number and position of beta-D-galacturonic acid substituents: carbohydrate structure: see text] where P is H or alpha-Hep, J, K is H or beta-GalA. LPS from all serotypes contained varying proportions of structures having additional or missing phosphate substituents. The core from serotype O1 contained a minor amount of a previously described variant with alpha-DD-Hep-(1-->2)-alpha-DD-Hep-(1-->6)-alpha-GlcN-(1--> replacing the alpha-Hep-(1-->4)-alpha-Kdo-(2-->6)-alpha-GlcN-(1--> component. |
