Taxonomic group: bacteria / Proteobacteria (Phylum: Proteobacteria) Associated disease:infection due to Klebsiella [ICD11: XN620]
The structure was elucidated in this paper Publication DOI:10.1016/S0008-6215(00)80879-4 Journal NLM ID:0043535 Publisher: Elsevier Institutions: Department of Chemistry, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, V6T 1W5 Canada
By using the techniques of methylation analysis, uronic acid degradation, partial hydrolysis, and periodate oxidation, the structure of the capsular polysaccharide from Klebsiella serotype K70 has been investigated. Nuclear magnetic resonance was used extensively to characterize fragments obtained as a result of the various degradation procedures. The existence of a linear, hexasaccharide repeating unit having a 1-carboxyethylidene group attached to a 2-linked α-l-rhamnosyl residue in every second repeating unit has been demonstrated.
