| Popis: | An investigation of the sugar composition of lipopolysaccharides derived from ten well-defined Shigella dysenteriae serotypes and two Escherichia alcalescens-dispar serotypes was carried out. All the lipopolysaccharides contained glucosamine, glucose, galactose, heptose and 3-deoxyoctulosonic acid. These sugars were considered to represent the core polysaccharide and the same sugars except heptose and 3-deoxyoctulosonic acid, may represent the constituents of the O-specific polysaccharide chains. In addition to the “basal” sugars, the following monosaccharides were detected as components of the various Sh. dysenteriae lipopolysaccharides: galactosamine, mannose, fucose, rhamnose and 3,6-dideoxyhexose. As a result, a chemical classification of Sh. dysenteriae lipopolysaccharides into eight chemotypes was suggested. The sugar composition of lipopolysaccarides from serologically related Shigella and Escherichia species was compared and several cross-reacting pairs were found to belong to the same chemotype. |
