The polymeric O antigen was obtained from lipopolysaccharide extracted from isolated, defatted cell walls of the reference strain for Acinetobacter baumannii serogroup O18. Monosaccharide analyses and NMR spectra established that the polymer had a regular structure with a repeating unit based on residues of D-galactose (2), N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (1), and N-acetyl-D-mannosamine (1). Further interpretation of the NMR spectra, combined with the results of methylation analysis and a Smith degradation, showed that the repeating unit had the following structure. β-D-ManpNAc-(1→4)-α-D-Galp 1 decreases 4 →3)-β-D-GalpNAc-(1→3)-β-D-Galp-(1→.
