Escherichia coli is one of the major causative agents of bovine mastitis, a disease affecting dairy herds. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of E. coli was plays a prominent role during infection. Here, we report on the O-antigen chemical structure of the LPS from Escherichia coli strain 2188 (serotype O174:H28) isolated from a mastitis-diseased cow. The structure of the OPS was analyzed by 1 and 2D NMR spectroscopy, and methylation analysis, which identified the branched repeating tetrasaccharide biological unit. [structure: see text].
大肠杆菌是引起奶牛乳腺炎的主要病原体之一,这种疾病会影响奶牛群。大肠杆菌的脂多糖(LPS)在感染过程中起着突出的作用。在这里,我们报告了从乳腺炎病牛中分离的大肠杆菌 2188 株(血清型 O174:H28)的 LPS 的 O-抗原化学结构。通过 1 和 2D NMR 光谱和甲基化分析对 OPS 结构进行了分析,确定了支链重复四糖生物单元。[结构:见正文]。
