A polysaccharide containing D-galactose (Gal), 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose (GalNAc), 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (GlcNAc), and 3-deoxy-3-(D-3-hydroxybutyramido)-D-quinovose (Qui3NR) was isolated from lipopolysaccharide (LPS) obtained from cells walls of the reference strain for Acinetobacter baumannii O23. By means of NMR studies, methylation analysis, and chemical degradations, the repeating unit of the polymer was identified as a branched pentasaccharide with the structure 1. The same polymer was apparently also present in LPS of the reference strain for serogroup O12, together with a second polymer based on a branched tetrasaccharide with the structure 2. This second polymer has previously been isolated as the O16 antigen of A. baumannii [Haseley, S.R., Diggle, H.J. & Wilkinson, S. G. (1996) Carbohydr. Res. 293, 259-265] and is probably present as a minor component of the LPS of A. baumannii O11 [Haseley, S.R. & Wilkinson, S.G. (1996) Eur. J. Biochem. 237, 266-271]. [Sequence: see text]
