The Structure of the Capsular Polysaccharide (K5 Antigenn) of Urinary-Tract-Infective Escherichia coli 010:K5:H4. A Polymer Similar to Desulfo-Heparin
Abstract
The capsular polysaccharide was isolated from Escherichia coli 010:K5:H4; it could not be obtained from a uncapsulated (K5-) mutant. It contains N-acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid in a molar ratio of 1:1. Acid hydrolysis of the acidic polysaccharide as well as Smith degradation and degradation by deamination of the carboxyl-reduced polysaccharide suggested that the polysaccharide is composed of a disaccharide repeating unit. The data obtained by methylation analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy indicated that the repeating sequence of the capsular polysaccharide is the 4-beta-glucuronyl-1,4-alpha-N-acetylglucosaminyl unit. This structure is similar to that of desulfo-heparin.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
