Abstract excerpt
In the enteric pathogen Vibrio cholerae, expression of the major virulence factors is controlled by the hierarchical expression of several regulatory proteins comprising the ToxR regulon. In this study, we demonstrate that disruption of the fadD gene encoding a long-chain fatty acyl coenzyme A ligase has marked effects on expression of the ToxR virulence regulon, motility, and in vivo lethality of V. cholerae. In...
