Adaptation of Vibrio vulnificus and an rpoS mutant to bile salts.

Abstract excerpt

Vibrio vulnificus is an opportunistic pathogen commonly found in oyster and marine environments, which frequently encounters different stresses in its natural habitat, food processing environment and during infection. In this paper, the adaptation of V. vulnificus to bile and the role of RpoS in this process were examined using a wild-type strain and an rpoS isogenic mutant. Adaptation to bile was readily induced...
