Abstract

The structure of the K141 type capsular polysaccharide (CPS) produced by Acinetobacter baumannii KZ1106, a clinical isolate recovered from Kazakhstan in 2016, was established by sugar analyses and one- and two-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The CPS was shown to consist of branched tetrasaccharide repeating units (K-units) with the following structure:[Formula presented] This structure was found to be consistent with the genetic content of the KL141 CPS biosynthesis gene cluster at the chromosomal K locus in the KZ1106 whole genome sequence. Assignment of the encoded enzymes allowed the first sugar of the K unit to be identified, which revealed that the β-d-GlcpNAc-(1→3)-d-GlcpNAc bond is the linkage between K-units formed by the WzyKL141 polymerase.
