Abstract
The primary structure of the acidic capsular antigen of Escherichia co li O8:K45:H9 was shown by glycose analysis, methylation analysis, and one- and two-dimensional H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy to be composed of repeating branched tetrasaccharide units having the structure: [GRA PHICS] The polysaccharide contains the uncommon amino sugar 3-acetamid o-3,6-dideoxy-D-galactopyranose, which has not been previously identif ied in a capsular antigen.
