Abstract excerpt
The structural gene, hap, for the secreted hemagglutinin/protease (HA/protease), a putative virulence factor of Vibrio cholerae, has recently been cloned and sequenced (C. C. Häse and R. A. Finkelstein, J. Bacteriol. 173:3311-3317, 1991). The availability of the null mutant, HAP-1, and HAP-1 complemented with pCH2 (which expresses HA/protease), enabled an examination of the role of HA/protease in the virulence of...
