Comparative NMR analysis of K. pneumoniae O2v2 and O2v1 O-antigens. 1H HR-MAS NMR spectra of the lipopolysaccharides from (a) K. pneumoniae BIDMC 7B and (b) ABC152; and (c) the O-specific polysaccharides of K. pneumoniae Kp26 strain (O2v1) and (d) the PCM-27 strain (O2v2); (e) 1H,13C HSQC-DEPT NMR spectrum of the BIDMC 7B strain (O2v1). The capital letters refer to protons and/or carbons of O-PS carbohydrate residues, as shown in Table 1. The symbol Nomenclature for Graphical Representation of Glycans is used for O-PS visual representation: Galactose;
Galactofuranose to show O-specific polysaccharide repeating units: →3)-β-D-Galf-(1→3)-α-D-Galp-(1→ (D-galactan I, O2 variant 1) and →3)-β-D-Galf-(1→3)-[α-D-Galp-(1→4)]-α-D-Galp-(1→ (O2v2) [26].
