With a single exception among 11 strains, each strain of Y. enterocolitica representing one of the six O-groups possesses, as judged by the sugar composition of its lipopolysaccharides, a particular chemotype. All 14 of the strains examined possessed glucosamine, KDO, two heptoses and glucose. In the most complicated chemotype 10 sugars were demonstrable. Of three Y. enterocolitica strains not included in the 6 O-groups, two had the same chemotype as the representatives of the O-groups IV and VI. Details can be seen in the two tables.
