Abstract excerpt
The polysaccharide chains of enterobacterial common antigen (ECA) consist of linear trisaccharide repeat units with the structure -->3)-alpha-d-Fuc4NAc-(1-->4)-beta-d-ManNAcA-(1--> 4)-alpha-d-GlcNAc-(1-->, where Fuc4NAc is 4-acetamido-4, 6-dideoxy-d-galactose, ManNAcA is N -acetyl-d- mannosaminur...
