Carbohydrate composition analysis of LPS of pathogenic and intermediate pathogenic Leptospira strains. LPS extracted from the pathogenic species, Leptospira interrogans serovar Copenhageni strain Fiocruz L1-130, and from the intermediately pathogenic species, Leptospira licerasiae serovar Varillal strain VAR010, was subjected to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) chromatography of monosaccharides as alditol acetate derivatives: (a) Copenhageni aqueous layer LPS; (b) Copenhageni phenol layer LPS; (c) VAR010 aqueous layer LPS; (d) VAR010 phenol layer LPS. Rha = 6-deoxymannopyranose; Fuc = 6-deoxygalactopyranose; Ara = arabinose; Xyl = xylose; Ino = Myo-inositol (internal standard); Man = mannose; Glc = glucose; Gal = galactose; GlcNAc = 2-N-acetylglucosamine; L-D-Heptose = L-glycero-D-mannoheptose
