The 0-acetyl group in the repeating unit of the capsular polysaccharide of Klebsiella K69 has been located on O-6 of the 4-linked j?-mannosyl residue by a combination of \*H-and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy and f.a.b.-m.s. of the pentasaccharide obtained by degradation of the polysaccharide with a bacter

The lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of Hebsielh pneumoniae have been implicated as virulence determinants. Although some 72 K-serospecific capsular antigens have been described for Klebsiella sp., it has been suggested that there exist only 8 associated unique LPS 0-polysaccharide antigens in this gram-ne
The structure of the O-specific polysaccharide of Klebsiella pneumoniae O1K2 lipopolysaccharide was investigated by use of methylation, periodate oxidation, partial hydrolysis, and 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy. It was shown to consist of a linear chain composed of two disaccharide repeating units
Recently, Whitfield et a1.3 demonstrated that the O-specific poIysaccharide chains of KlehieUa pneumoniae serotype 01 contained a mixture of two structurahy distinct D-gala&an polymers. The repeating unit structures of these two poiymers, named by these authors D-galactan I and D-gala&an II, corresp
Application of 99% formic acid at 25 degrees formylates primary hydroxyl groups as shown by the easy formation of 6-O-formyl-D-glucopyranose and 6-O-formyl-D-fructofuranose, isolated as their tetra-acetates in yields of 77% and 31%, respectively. Likewise, D-glucitol gave the 2,3,4,5-tetra-O-acetyl-
