Involvement of LuxS in the Regulation of Motility and Flagella Biogenesis in<i>Vibrio alginolyticus</i>
23 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
The fish pathogen Vibrio alginolyticus contains two unique flagellar systems. The LuxS quorum sensing system is reported to regulate the expression of virulence factors in a wide variety of pathogenic bacteria. Our previous work demonstrated that inactive luxS led to decreased virulence in V. alginolyticus. In this study, LuxS-dependent regulation of motility and flagella biogenesis, the potential virulence...
