Abstract excerpt
Vibrio vulnificus, a halophilic estuarine bacterium, causes a fatal septicemia and necrotizing wound infection. To investigate the role of cAMP in V. vulnificus virulence regulation, an in-frame deletion mutant of the cya gene encoding adenylate cyclase was constructed. The cya null mutation resulted in a pleiotropic change of virulence phenotypes. The production of hemolysin and protease, the motility, and the...
