N.L. gen. n. gasseri , of Gasser, named for F. Gasser, a French bacteriologist). Lactobacillus gasseri strains are all positive for glucose, mannose, galactose, maltose, sucroseand fructose fermentation and produce DL-lactic acid. Strains do not ferment ribose, mannitol and raffinose. Further characteristics are provided by [ 84 – 86 ]. Thegenome size is 1.89 Mbpand the mol% G+C content of DNA is 35.3. One of the predominant species in the human female lower genital tract. Also isolatedfrom the human mouth, intestinal tract, and from the intestine of animals. Also found in wounds, urine, blood, carious dentine, and pus of patients suffering from septic infections.
