The O-antigen structure of Shigella dysenteriae type 2 was reinvestigated using chemical modifications along with high-resolution 2D (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy. The O-antigen was found to contain a pyruvic acid acetal, which was overlooked in an early study, and the following revised structure of the pentasaccharide repeating unit was established: where approximately 70% GlcNAc residues bear an O-acetyl group at position 3. The O-antigen of Escherichia coli O112ac was found to have the same carbohydrate structure but to lack O-acetylation
