Popis: The O-polysaccharide of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Proteusvulgaris TG 155 was found to contain 2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy- l -mannose (N-acetyl- l -rhamnosamine, l -RhaNAc), a monosaccharide that occurs rarely in Nature. The following structure of the O-polysaccharide was established by NMR spectroscopy, including 2D COSY, TOCSY, ROESY and 1H,13C HSQC experiments, along with chemical methods: Download : Download full-size image Rabbit polyclonal O-antiserum against P. vulgaris TG 155 reacted with both core and O-polysaccharide moieties of the homologous LPS but showed no cross-reactivity with other LPS from the complete set of serologically different Proteus strains. Based on the unique O-polysaccharide structure and the serological data, we propose classifying P.vulgaris TG 155 into a new, separate Proteus O-serogroup, O55.
