The lipopolysaccharide of Citrobacter freundii O22 (strain PCM 1555) was degraded under mild acidic conditions and the O-polysaccharide released was isolated by gel chromatography. Sugar and methylation analyses along with 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, including two-dimensional 1H,1H ROESY and 1H,13C HMBC experiments, showed that the repeating unit of the O-polysaccharide has the following structure: where Abe is abequose (3,6-dideoxy-d-xylo-hexose). SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting revealed that the O-antigen of C. freundii O22 is serologically indistinguishable from those of Salmonella group B serovars (Typhimurium, Brandenburg, Sandiego, Paratyphi B) but not related to other abequose-containing O-antigens tested (Citrobacter werkmanii O38 and Salmonella Kentucky) or colitose (l enantiomer of abequose)-containing O-antigen of Escherichia coli O111.
