Abstract excerpt
The core oligosaccharide region of Klebsiella pneumoniae lipopolysaccharide contains some novel features that distinguish it from the corresponding lipopolysaccharide region in other members of the Enterobacteriaceae family, such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella. The conserved Klebsiella outer core contains the unusual trisaccharide 3-deoxy-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (Kdo)-(2,6)-GlcN-(1,4)-GalUA. In general,...
