Carbohydrate NameLipopolysaccharide   (Drugpedia)
Carbohydrate ClassLipopolysaccharide
MicrobeEikenella corrodens FDC 1073   (NCBI Taxonomy)   (Drugpedia)
Basic StructureThe LPS of E. corrodens was found to have little 2-keto-3-deoxyocutulosonic acid (KDO) and heptose and fairly strong classical endotoxic activities
BCSDB StructureN/A
Proposed functionsThe lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the species may play a primary role in the pathogenesis
