Abstract excerpt
Aeromonas hydrophila is a broad-host-range pathogen and its pathogenesis is multifactorial. A regulatory mechanism known as quorum sensing has been found to be involved in the regulation of virulence in many bacteria. In A. hydrophila the ahyR gene encodes LuxR-type response regulator. Here we describe the inactivation of the ahyR gene of A. hydrophila J-1 by the insertion of a DNA fragment containing a kanamycin...
