Role of type IV pilins in persistence of Vibrio vulnificus in Crassostrea virginica oysters.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Aug 2007

Paranjpye Rohinee N, Johnson Asta B, Baxter Anne E, Strom Mark S

Abstract excerpt

Vibrio vulnificus is part of the natural estuarine microflora and accumulates in shellfish through filter feeding. It is responsible for the majority of seafood-associated fatalities in the United States mainly through consumption of raw oysters. Previously we have shown that a V. vulnificus mutant unable to express PilD, the type IV prepilin peptidase, does not express pili on the surface of the bacterium and is...
