title: Structure of the O-polysaccharide of Cronobacter sakazakii O2 with a randomly O-acetylated l-rhamnose residue.
abstract: Studies by sugar analysis and partial acid hydrolysis along with one- and two-dimensional (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy and high-resolution ESI MS showed that the O-polysaccharide (O-antigen) Cronobacter sakazakii ATCC 29004 (serotype O2) possesses a branched hexasaccharide O-unit with a randomly mono-O-acetylated terminal rhamnose residue in the side chain and the following structure: [Formula: see text]. A similar structure has been reported for the O-polysaccharide of C. sakazakii 767, which differs in the presence of an additional lateral alpha-d-Glcp residue on GlcNAc and the pattern of O-acetylation (Czerwicka, M., Forsythe, S.
