摘要

The following structure of the O-polysaccharide of Escherichia coli HS1/2 serving as a primary receptor for bacteriophage DT57-12 was elucidated by sugar analysis along with 1D and 2D H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy: -> 3)-beta-D-Galf-(1 -> 4)-alpha-D-Galp-(1 -> 3)-alpha-D-GalpA-(1 -> 3)-beta-D-GalpNAc-(1 -> 4 vertical bar OAC This structure is shared by E. coli O87 type strain. Putatively assigned functions of genes in the O-antigen gene cluster of E. coli O87 are consistent with the O-polysaccharide structure established.
