Structural analysis of the 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid (Kdo) region in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) II isolated from Coxiella burnetii strain Nine Mile in avirulent phase II revealed the presence of three variously linked Kdo residues. The lipid A proximal Kdo is substituted at C-4 by a Kdo-(2-->4)-Kdo disaccharide and this structural arrangement of the Kdo residues is similar to that of enterobacterial LPSs.
对从处于无毒II期的伯纳特立克次氏体Nine Mile菌株分离出的脂多糖(LPS)II中3-脱氧-D-甘露-2-辛酮糖酸(Kdo)区域的结构分析显示存在三个连接方式各异的Kdo残基。靠近脂质A的Kdo在C-4位被一个Kdo-(2→4)-Kdo二糖取代,Kdo残基的这种结构排列与肠道细菌LPS的相似。
