[Determination and comparison of beta-glucuronidase activity among strains of B. fragilis and E. coli].
We determined and compared the beta-glucuronidase (beta-G) activity among strains of B. fragilis and E. coli under the optimum condition. Results showed that the mean beta-G activity of strain B. fragilis ATCC25285 was 94.7u. B. fragilis ATCC25285 strain was selected as the model strain to establish the animal model of bilirubin gallstones because its beta-G activity was obviously higher than that of B. fragilis CDC14462 and E. coli 3362 (O157K88) strain.
