The O-chain polysaccharide (O-PS) of Bordetella avium was isolated from the lipopolysaccharide by mild acid hydrolysis to remove the lipid A, followed by hydrofluorolysis to remove the lipopolysaccharide core oligosaccharide leaving a residual O-PS for structural analysis. High resolution (1)H and (13)C NMR and MALDI studies showed the O-chain to be a polymer composed of 1,4-linked 2-acetamidino-3-[3- hydroxybutanamido]-2,3-dideoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid residues
