An acidic O-polysaccharide was isolated by mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide of Proteus mirabilis CCUG 10701 (OB) and studied by chemical analyses and (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy. The following structure of the tetrasaccharide repeating unit of the polysaccharide was established: --> 3)-beta-D-GlcpNAc6Ac-(1 --> 2)-beta-D-GalpA4Ac-(1--> 3)-alpha-D-GalpNAc-(1 --> 4)-alpha-D-GalpA-(1 -->, where the degree of O-acetylation at position 6 of GlcNAc is approximately 50% and at position 4 of beta-GalA approximately 60%. Based on the unique structure of the O-polysaccharide and serological data, it is proposed to classify P. mirabilis CCUG 10701 (OB) into a new Proteus serogroup, O74.

A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, FT117, was isolated from mangrove sediment collected in Shenzhen, Guangdong, PR China. Growth occurred at 20-45 °C (optimum, 40 °C), pH 6-10 (optimum, 8) and in the presence of 0-5 % NaCl (optimum, 0 %). The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the identity between FT117 and CC-CFT501 was the highest (98.

Three strains of Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacteria were isolated from fresh water and human blood. As determined by analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences, the prosthecate strain FWC 38T was affiliated to the alphaproteobacterial genus Caulobacter, with Caulobacter henricii (96.8 %) and Caulobacter fusiformis (96.

Introduction: Lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin, LPS) is an important potential virulence factor of Proteus rods. The serological specificity of the bacteria is defined by the structure of the O-polysaccharide chain (O-antigen) of the LPS. Until now, 76 O-serogroups have been differentiated among Proteus strains.

Introduction: Bacteria of the genus Proteus are a common cause of urinary tract infections. The O-polysaccharide (OPS) chain of their lipopolysaccharide (LPS) defines the serological specificity of strains. Based on the OPS structures and the immunospecificity of the LPS, Proteus strains have been classified into 74 O-serogroups.

O-Polysaccharides were obtained from the lipopolysaccharides of Proteus mirabilis CCUG 10704 (OE) and Proteus vulgaris TG 103 and studied by chemical analyses and one- and two-dimensional (1)H and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, including rotating-frame nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy, H-detected (1)H,(13)C heteronuclear single-quantum spectroscopy and (1)H,(31)P heteronuclear multiple-quantum spectroscopy experiments. The Proteus mirabilis OE polysaccharide was found to have a trisaccharide repeating unit with a lateral glycerol phosphate group. The Proteus vulgaris TG 103 produces a similar O-polysaccharide, which differs in incomplete substitution with glycerol phosphate (c.
