The specific capsular polysaccharide produced by Rhodococcus equi serotype 1 was found to be a high molecular weight acidic polymer composed of D-glucose, D-mannose, and D-glucuronic acid. Structural analysis of the polysaccharide employed a combination of chemical and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques, from which it was determined that the polysaccharide possessed a linear repeating tetrasaccharide unit containing a single 0-acetyl substituent and an acetal-linked pyruvic acid moiety: . The 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonances of 0-deacetylated and pyruvic-free serotype 1 polysaccharides were fully assigned by homo- and heteronuclear chemical shift correlation methods.
