  • Title: Chemical and structural analysis of the capsular polysaccharide from Escherichia coli O9:K28(A):H- (K28 antigen).
    Author: Altman E, Dutton GG.
    Journal: Carbohydr Res; 1985 May 15; 138(2):293-303. PubMed ID: 3896486.
    Abstract:
    The structure of the capsular polysaccharide from Escherichia coli O9:K28(A):H- (K28 antigen) has been determined by using the techniques of methylation, periodate oxidation, and partial hydrolysis. N.m.r. spectroscopy (1H and 13C) was used to establish the nature of the anomeric linkages. O-Acetyl groups were determined spectrophotometrically and were located using methyl vinyl ether as a protective reagent. The polysaccharide is comprised of repeating units of the tetrasaccharide shown (three-plus-one type) with 70% of the fucosyl residues carrying an O-acetyl substituent. (formula; see text) This structure resembles that of E. coli K27 and has the structural pattern of Klebsiella K54 polysaccharide.
