The structure of the core region of the lipopolysaccharide from Klebsiella pneumoniae O3. 3-deoxy-alpha-D-manno-octulosonic acid (alpha-Kdo) residue in the outer part of the core, a common structural element of Klebsiella pneumoniae O1, O2, O3, O4, O5, O8, and O12 lipopolysaccharides

Popis: The structure of lipid A-core region of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Klebsiella pneumoniae serotype O3 was determined using NMR, MS and chemical analysis of the oligosaccharides, obtained by mild acid hydrolysis, alkaline deacylation, and deamination of the LPS: [carbohydrate structure see text] where P is H or alpha-Hep; J is H or beta-GalA; R is H or P (in the deacylated oligosaccharides). Screening of the LPS from K. pneumoniae O1, O2, O4, O5, O8, and O12 using deamination showed that they also contain alpha-Hep-(1--4)-alpha-Kdo-(2--6)-GlcN and alpha-Kdo-(2--6)-GlcN fragments.
