Abstract excerpt
We report the novel pattern of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) expressed by two disease-associated nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae strains, 1268 and 1200. The strains express the common structural motifs of H. influenzae; globotetraose [beta-d-GalpNAc-(1-->3)-alpha-d-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-d-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-d-Glcp] and its truncated versions globoside [alpha-d-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-d-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-d-Glcp] and lactose...
