The O-polysaccharide of Salmonella Telaviv was obtained by mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide and studied by chemical methods (sugar and methylation analyses, Smith degradation, de-O-acetylation) and NMR spectroscopy. The structure of the O-polysaccharide was established. The repeating units that are proximal to the lipopolysaccharide core region mostly have a digalactose side chain and lack glucose, whereas those at the other end of the chain mostly do bear glucose but are devoid of the disaccharide side chain. This is the first structure established for the O-polysaccharide of a Salmonella serogroup O:28 (formerly M) strain characterized by subfactors O28(1) and O28(2). Knowledge of this structure and the structure of the O-polysaccharide of Salmonella Dakar (O28(1), O28(3)) established earlier is crucial for determination of the exact structures associated with subfactors O28(1), O28(2), and O28(3) and elucidation of the genetic basis of the close relationship between Escherichia coli O71 and S. enterica O:28 O-antigens.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of circulating T follicular helper cells (cT) in the immune response to Typhi infection, using data from a controlled human infection model.
- Participants who did not develop typhoid disease (NoTD) showed higher frequencies of specific cT subsets (cT2 and cT17) compared to those who developed the disease (TD), particularly a week post-challenge.
- The findings suggest that these cT subsets are associated with the production of anti-Typhi antibodies and could be crucial for developing effective vaccines against typhoid disease.
Synthesis of Antigenic Tetrasaccharide Repeating Unit by Employing Cationic Gold(I)-Catalyzed Glycosylation Involving Glycosyl -1,1-Dimethylpropargyl Carbamate Donors.

Synthesis of an antigenic tetrasaccharide repeating unit of the -polysaccharide of lipopolysaccharide has been accomplished. Those four monosaccharides were assembled stereoselectively by employing our recently developed cationic gold(I)-catalyzed glycosylation methodology involving various glycosyl -1,1-dimethylpropargyl carbamate donors. The newly formed α-anomeric stereochemical configuration was controlled by the axial C2-OBz of the glycosyl donors via anchimeric assistance.

Synthesis of the pentasaccharide repeating unit of the cell O-polysaccharide produced by Salmonella milwaukee O:43 strain (group U) has been achieved in very good yield adopting a convergent stereoselective [3 + 2] block glycosylation strategy. Thioglycosides and glycosyl trichloroacetimidate derivative were used as glycosyl donors in the presence of a combination of N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) and trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) as thiophilic activator and TMSOTf as trichloroacetimidate activator respectively. The stereochemical outcome of all glycosylation reactions was excellent.

Nontyphoidal are a leading cause of community-onset bacteremia and other serious infections in sub-Saharan African countries where large studies indicate that they are an uncommon cause of moderate-to-severe diarrhea. Approximately 535 000 nontyphoidal invasive disease illnesses and 77 500 deaths were estimated to occur in 2017; 422 000 (78.9%) illnesses and 66 500 (85.
