The O-antigenic polysaccharide of Salmonella Mara O:39 (formerly Q) was investigated by sugar and methylation analyses, absolute configuration assignment, mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. The experiments revealed an O-polysaccharide chain composed of the following linear tetrasaccharide repeating units with the structure:→2)-α-l-Quip3NAc-(1→3)-α-d-Manp-(1→3)-α-l-Fucp-(1→3)-α-d-GalpNAc-(1→where α-l-Quip3NAc is the residue of 3-acetamido-3,6-dideoxy-α-l-glucopyranose. This repeating unit is the first published structure of the O-polysaccharide from 27 serotypes of Salmonella bacteria belonging to serogroup O:39 in the Kauffmann–White classification system.
