The O-polysaccharide of Aeromonas hydrophila O:34 was obtained by mild-acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide and studied by chemical methods and NMR spectroscopy before and after O-deacetylation. The polysaccharide was found to contain D-Man, D-GalNAc and 6-deoxy-L-talose (L-6dTal), and the following structure of the tetrasaccharide repeating unit was established [carbohydrate structure see text] where 6dTal(I) is O-acetylated stoichiometrically at position-2 and 6dTal(II) carries no, one or two O-acetyl groups at any positions.

The diversity of O-polysaccharides (O-antigens) among 28 strains isolated from ill fish has been determined by using high-resolution magic angle spinning (HR MAS) NMR spectroscopy. The new O-polysaccharide has been identified in two isolates. This new structure was investigated by H and C NMR spectroscopy and matrix-assisted laser-desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).

Aeromonas sobria strain K928 was isolated from a common carp during a Motile Aeromonas Infection/Motile Aeromonas Septicaemia disease outbreak on a Polish fish farm and classified into the new provisional PGO1 serogroup. The lipopolysaccharide of A. sobria K928 was subjected to mild acid hydrolysis, and the O-specific polysaccharide, which was isolated by gel-permeation chromatography, was studied using sugar and methylation analyses and H and C NMR spectroscopy.

Amongst spp. strains that are pathogenic to fish in Polish aquacultures, serogroup O6 was one of the five most commonly identified immunotypes especially among carp isolates. Here, we report immunochemical studies of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) including the O-specific polysaccharide (O-antigen) of bv.
