Bacterial serotypes, 0-chains

Figure 1 represents the general structure of Salmonella lipopolysaccharides. They contain an external polysaccharide, the O-antigenic chain, and an innermost component, termed lipid A. O-chain and lipid A are linked to each other by an oligosaccharide referred to as the core. O-Specific Chains. As indicated in Figure 1, O chains are in general made up of repeating units of di-, tri-, or higher oligosaccharides. In rare cases the O-chain is a homopolysaccharide. The structure of the O-chain is unique to each bacterial serotype great diversity is encountered in the structures of O-chains.
