Abstract excerpt
A carbon dioxide-dependent small-colony variant of Escherichia coli SH4888 was isolated from blood cultures of a patient with cholangitis. To date, little is known regarding the molecular mechanisms leading to formation of carbon dioxide-dependent phenotypes in clinical isolates, but abnormalities in the carbonic anhydrase are thought to cause carbon dioxide autotrophy. In this study DNA sequence analysis of the...
