Using chemical analysis and13C-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, capsular polysaccharide purified from culture supernatants of a strain ofPasteurella haemolyticaserotype A2 was shown to consist of a (2 → 8)-α-linked polymer ofN-acetylneuraminic acid. This is identical to the capsular polysaccharides ofNeisseria meningitidisgroup B andEscherichia coliK1, and is known as colominic acid. Polymer isolated from a second strain was contaminated with α-1,4-linked dextran. The known poor immunogenicity of these two polymers explains the failure by others to produce effective extract vaccines for this important ovine pathogen.
