The structure of the capsular antigen of E. coli K26 has been found by a combination of chemical and spectroscopic techniques to be of the "5 + 1" type shown. An important step was the simultaneous separation and identification of a mixture of neutral and acidic oligosaccharides by GLC-CI-MS.
Structure type: polymer chemical repeating unit
