The structural elucidation of the capsular polysaccharide of Klebsiella K68.
The structure of the capsular polysaccharide isolated from Klebsiella K68 bacteria has been elucidated by both chemical and spectroscopic methods. The structure is of the "3 + 1" type, similar in pattern to the structures of the polysaccharides of Klebsiella K11 and K57, having a single branch point on the uronic acid. The polysaccharide is shown to consist of the following repeating unit: (Formula: see text).
