Structure of the capsular polysaccharide of Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae serotype 3.
The capsular polysaccharide of Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae serotype 3 (ATCC 27090) is composed of D-galactose (one part), 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (one part), glycerol (one part), and phosphate (one part). From hydrolysis, dephosphorylation, methylation, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies, the polysaccharide was found to be a high molecular weight polymer of a repeating trisaccharide unit, joined through monophosphate diester linkages and having the following structure: (formula; see text).
