The aim of the present study was to investigate porcine reference and field strains of the species Haemophilus (H.) pleuropneumoniae and H. parasuis, as well as H. Taxon "minor group" and Taxon C on their amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism by thin layer chromatography. The 17 reference strains studied showed almost identical results within the different species and taxa in both, amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism patterns. Based on a few differing enzymatic reactions a reduced species- and taxon-specific reaction pattern could be established, which included L-alanine, L-citrulline and L-threonine of the amino acids as well as D-ribose, alpha-D-xylose, mannitol, trehalose, beta-melibiose and alpha-lactose of the carbohydrates. This differentiation system allowed a reliable identification of 7 field strains whereas 4 additional ones, hitherto pre-classified as H. parasuis, could not be associated with any of the above species and taxa.

Employing a combination of chemical and spectroscopic techniques, the structure of the Haemophilus influenzae type d capsular polysaccharide was found to be leads to 4)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1 leads to 3)-beta-D-ManNAcA-(1 leads to. L-Alanine, L-serine, and L-threonine, in the molar ratios of approximately 1.0:1.0:0.3, were linked to C-6 of the D-mannosyluronic residue as amides; the (serine + alanine + threonine) to ManNAcA ratio was approximately 0.95:1.0. Removal of the amino acids by mild hydrolysis with sodium hydroxide resulted in a material that was cross-reactive with the native, type d polymer. The base-treated, type d polysaccharide was not observed to cross-react with either the H. influenzae type e or Escherichia coli K7 capsular polysaccharide, both of which are structurally similar to type d.

The structure of the capsular polysaccharide elaborated by Haemophilus influenzae type d has been investigated, methylation analysis and n.m.r. spectrometry being the principal methods used. It is concluded that the polysaccharide is composed of repeating units having the structure: leads to 4)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1 leads to 3)-beta-D-ManpNAcA-(1 leads to. In addition, single residues of L-alanine, L-serine, or L-threonine, in the proportions 2:2:1, are linked, through their amino groups, to C-6 of the 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-mannopyranosyluronic acid residues. The degree of substitution (75-85%) varies for different preparations.
