Term Name:	S. flexneri serotype Y O-polysaccharide (O factor 9-positive)
Synonyms:	[2)-alpha-L-Rha(III)3/4Ac-(1->2)-alpha-L-Rha(II)-(1->3)-alpha-L-Rha(I)-(1->3)-beta-D-Glc6,NAc2-(1->]n, [2)-alpha-L-Rhap(III)3/4Ac-(1->2)-alpha-L-Rhap(II)-(1->3)-alpha-L-Rhap(I)-(1->3)-beta-D-Glcp6,NAc2-(1->]n
Definition:	A polysaccharide derivative comprised of a [2)-alpha-L-Rhap(III)-(1->2)-alpha-L-Rhap(II)-(1->3)-alpha-L-Rhap(I)-(1->3)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1->] tetrasaccharide repeat modified by addition of acetyl groups to 40% of the O-6 positions of the GlcNAc residue and to either O-3 or O-4 of many of the Rha(III) residues (30% to O-3; 20% to O-4). The structure provided is representative of that in Shigella flexneri serotype Y and shows the most common repeating unit.
