Importation of the major pilin TcpA gene and frequent recombination drive the divergence of the Vibrio pathogenicity island in Vibrio cholerae.

FEMS microbiology letters - 1 Dec 2008

Tay Chin Yen, Reeves Peter R, Lan Ruiting

Abstract excerpt

The Vibrio pathogenicity island (VPI) encodes the toxin-coregulated pilus and other virulence factors for Vibrio cholerae to colonize the human intestine to cause cholera. We assessed the level of genetic variation of VPI in nine nonpandemic isolates, and compared them with the sixth and seventh pandemic strains by sequencing c. 5 kb each from the start, middle and end regions of the VPI. Variation is similar...
