| Carbohydrate Name | Lipopolysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Lipopolysaccharide |
| Microbe | Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain Fisher IT-4 (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | The LPS consists of three regions, namely O-polysaccharide, core oligosaccharide and lipid A. The core oligosaccharide of P. aeruginosa can be divided into outer and inner core regions. The inner core consists of 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonate (Kdo), heptose, and large amounts of phosphate and is believed to be homogeneous among serotypes. The outer core of P. aeruginosa contains D-glucose (D-Glc), L-rhamnose (L-Rha), D-galactosamine (D-GalN), and L-alanine (L-Ala]
