A neutral small molecular mass (approximately 6.5 kDa) polysaccharide comprising a pentasaccharide repeat unit was isolated from culture supernatants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa immunotype 4. The polysaccharide had a pentasaccharide repeating unit as follows (formula; see text) where Rha is rhamnose. The structure was determined using acid hydrolysis, solvolysis with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, methylation analysis, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy including nuclear Overhauser enhancement experiments. The polysaccharide bound antibody raised to the lipopolysaccharide of the seven P. aeruginosa Fisher-Devlin immunotype strains. Inhibition assays demonstrated the presence of a serologically similar polysaccharide in supernatants of these strains. Affinity-purified antibody to the polysaccharide bound to lipopolysaccharide and whole cells of the immunotype strains of P. aeruginosa in a Western immunoblot and colony blot assay, respectively. This polysaccharide seems to contain an antigenic determinant present in the core of the P. aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide or may represent another minor polysaccharide substituent on the lipopolysaccharide in addition to the O side chain.
