Basic StructureLPS is a complex macromolecule composed of the biologically active lipid A moiety, covalently attached core oligosaccharide, and distally linked polysaccharide O-side chain. The O-antigen part of Salmonella enterica group D LPS is as follows : -2)-α-D-Manp [branched to α-Tyvp-(1-->3)] -(1-->4)-α-L-Rhap-(1-->3)-α-D-Galp [branched to α-D-Glcp-(1-->4)]-(1-
