The structure of the O-antigen of Escherichia coli O116:K+:H10

The primary structure of the O-antigen of Escherichia coli O116:K+:H10 was shown by monosaccharide analysis, a partial hydrolysis study and by 1D and 2D 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy to be composed of linear pentasaccharide repeating units with the structure:→6)-α-d-GlcpNAc-(1→4)-α-d-GalpNAc-(1→4)-α-d-GalpA-(1→3)-β-d-GlcpNAc-(1→2)-β-d-Quip4NAc-(1→
