The primary structure of the acidic capsular polysaccharide of Escherichia coli O8:K43:H11 was shown by monosaccharide analysis, methylation analysis, fl-elimination, and by 1D and 2D 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy to be composed of branched pentasaccharide repeating units with the structure →4)-α-D-GlcpA-(1-3)[β-D-GlcpNAc(1→2)]-β-D-Manp-(1→4)-β-D-Manp-(1→3)-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1→.
