[Characteristic of saccharose fermentation by pathogenic Escherichia coli strains--phenotypic and genotypic elements].

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of the study was to characterize fermentation of sucrose by Escherichia coli strains and to answer why some of these strains doesn't utilize this disaccharide. Investigations included 16 E. coli strains. Only 5 of these strains utilized sucrose. Genotypic analysis demonstrated the presence of cscB gene (encoding the sucrase permease which catalyzes transport of sucrose through the plasma membrane of...
