| Abstract | Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal has recently been identified as a cause of epidemic cholera in Asia. In contrast to V. cholerae O1, V. cholerae O139 Bengal has a polysaccharide capsule. As determined by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance analysis, the capsular polysaccharide of V. cholerae O139 Bengal strain Al1837 has six residues in the repeating subunit; this includes one residue each of N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylquinovosamine (QuiNAc), galacturonic acid (GalA), and galactose and two residues of 3,6-dideoxyxylohexose (Xylhex). The proposed structure is [formula: see text] |
