Glucose and glucose 6-phosphate as carbon sources in extra- and intracellular growth of enteroinvasive and Free

Abstract

To study the role of carbohydrates, in particular glucose, glucose 6-phosphate and mannose, as carbon substrates for extra- and intracellular replication of facultative intracellular enteric bacteria, mutants of two enteroinvasive (EIEC) strains and a serovar Typhimurium isolate were constructed that were defective in the uptake of glucose and mannose (Δ, ), glucose 6-phosphate (Δ) or all three carbohydrates (Δ, , ). The ability of these mutants to grow in RPMI medium containing the respective carbohydrates and in Caco-2 cells was compared with that of the corresponding wild-type strains. In the three strains, deletions of , or resulted in considerably different levels of inhibition of growth in the presence of glucose, mannose and glucose 6-phosphate, respectively, but hardly reduced their capability for intracellular replication in Caco-2 cells. Even the triple mutants Δ, , of the three enterobacterial strains were still able to replicate in Caco-2 cells, albeit at strain-specific lower rates than the corresponding wild-type strains.
