Abstract excerpt
About 30% of clinical isolates of Escherichia coli tested utilized L-sorbose as a carbon and energy source. Escherichia coli K-12 is naturally sorbose negative. The genes for L-sorbose utilization (sor+) is being used as a prototype for studying variable genes amongst bacterial pathogens. The sor...
