Glucose metabolism via the Entner-Doudoroff pathway in Campylobacter: A rare trait that enhances survival and promotes biofilm formation in some isolates

Isolates of the zoonotic pathogen Campylobacter are generally considered to be unable to metabolize glucose due to lack of key glycolytic enzymes. However, the Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway has been identified in Campylobacter jejuni subsp. doylei and a few C. coli isolates. A systematic search for...
