  • Title: The lipooligosaccharides of Haemophilus ducreyi are highly sialylated.
    Author: Melaugh W, Campagnari AA, Gibson BW.
    Journal: J Bacteriol; 1996 Jan; 178(2):564-70. PubMed ID: 8550483.
    Abstract:
    The major lipooligosaccharides of the sexually transmitted pathogen Haemophilus ducreyi 35000 have been previously found to terminate in N-acetyllactosamine and sialyl-N-acetyllactosamine, Neu5Ac alpha 2-->3Gal beta 1-->4GlcNAc (W. Melaugh, N. J. Phillips, A. A. Campagnari, M. V. Tullius, and B. W. Gibson, Biochemistry 33: 13070-13078, 1994). In this study, mass spectrometry and composition analyses have shown that the lipooligosaccharides from three other H. ducreyi strains also contain N-acetyllactosamine and are highly sialylated (approximately 30 to 50%), although one African strain was found to contain neither of these structural features.
