The K3-antigenic capsular polysaccharide (K3 antigen) of Escherichia coli contains L-rhamnose, a 4-deoxy-2-hexulosonic acid, and an O-acetyl group in the molar ratio of 3:1:1. The backbone consists of a ----2)-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1----3)-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1----3)-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyra
The K16-antigen from E. coli Rk 21510 (O7:K16:H-) is shown to consist of the repeating unit ----2)-beta-D-Ribf-(1----3)-beta-D-Ribf-(1----5)-alpha-Kd op-(2---- of which approximately 33% is O-acetylated at position 3 of the 2-linked ribose.
