Abstract excerpt
Vibrio cholerae is the causative agent of cholera, which continues to be a major public health concern in Asia, Africa and Latin America. The bacterium can persist outside the human host and alternates between planktonic and biofilm community lifestyles. Transition between the different lifestyles is mediated by multiple signal transduction pathways including quorum sensing. Expression of the Zn-metalloprotease...
