A polysaccharide containing D-GlcN, 2-amino-2,6-dideoxy-L-galactose (L-FucN), and 7-acetamido-5-acylamino-3,5,7,9-tetradeoxy-L-glycero-D-galacto-nonulo sonic acid (LegAX), in which the acyl group (X) is either S-3-hydroxybutyryl (50%) or acetyl (50%), was isolated by mild acid hydrolysis treatment, followed by gel-permeation chromatography, of the water-soluble lipopolysaccharide from Acinetobacter baumannii serogroup O24. The polysaccharide, characterised by means of monosaccharide analyses, partial acid hydrolysis, methylation analysis and NMR studies, was shown to have a linear tetrasaccharide repeating unit, as depicted below. Serological tests indicated that the polymer corresponded to the O24 antigen. [→6)-α-D-GlcpNAc-(1→3)-α-L-FucpNAc-(1→3)-α-D-Glcp NAc-(1→4)-β-LegpAX-(1→].
