Capsular polysaccharide phase variation in Vibrio vulnificus.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Nov 2006

Hilton Tamara, Rosche Tom, Froelich Brett, Smith Benjamin, Oliver James

Abstract excerpt

Commonly found in raw oysters, Vibrio vulnificus poses a serious health threat to immunocompromised individuals and those with serum iron overload, with a fatality rate of approximately 50%. An essential virulence factor is its capsular polysaccharide (CPS), which is responsible for a significant increase in virulence compared to nonencapsulated strains. However, this bacterium is known to vary the amount of CPS...
