title: The structure of the O-antigen of Escherichia coli O116:K+:H10.
abstract: The primary structure of the O-antigen of Escherichia coli O116:K+:H10 was shown by monosaccharide analysis, a partial hydrolysis study and by 1D and 2D 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy to be composed of linear pentasaccharide repeating units with the structure: -->6)-alpha-D-GlcpNAc-(1-->4)-alpha-D-GalpNAc-(1-->4)-alpha-D-GalpA++ +-(1-->3)- beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1-->2)-beta-D-Quip4NAc-(1-->.
