Structure of the K95 antigen from Escherichia coli O75:K95:H5, a capsular polysaccharide containing furanosidic KDO-residues. 1985

T Dengler, and B Jann, and K Jann

The structure of the K95 antigenic capsular polysaccharide (K95 antigen) of Escherichia coli O75:K95:H5 was elucidated by determination of the composition, 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy, periodate oxidation, and methylation analysis. The K95 polysaccharide, which contains furanosidic 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid (KDOf) residues, consists of----3)-beta-D-Rib-(1----8)-KDOf-(2----repeating units, has a molecular weight of approximately 25,000 (approximately 65 repeating units), and is randomly O-acetylated (1 acetyl group per repeating unit at unknown positions).

Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
