Abstract
The O-specific polysaccharide was obtained by mild degradation of the Salmonella arizonae O61 lipopolysaccharide with acid. It contained 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose, 2-acetamidino-2,6-dideoxy-L-galactose (FucAm), and 7-acetamido-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxy-5-[(R)-3-hydroxybutyramido]-D- glycero-L-galacto-nonulosonic acid (Sug). On the basis of partial acid hydrolysis with 0.1 M HCl, solvolysis with anhydrous HF in methanol, and 1H- and 13C-NMR analysis (including 1H/13C inversely correlated spectroscopy for localisation of N-acyl substituents), it was concluded that the O-specific polysaccharide had the following structure. ----3)-alpha-L-FucAm-(1----3)-alpha-D-GlcNAc-(1----8)-beta-Sug+ ++-(2---- The O-antigen of S. arizonae O61 is structurally related to that of Pseudomonas aeruginosa O12, thus explaining the known serological cross-reactivity between these micro-organisms.
