Vibrio vulnificus rtxA1 gene recombination generates toxin variants with altered potency during intestinal infection.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 25 Jan 2011

Kwak Jayme S, Jeong Hee-Gon, Satchell Karla J F

Abstract excerpt

Vibrio vulnificus is a food-borne bacterial pathogen associated with 1% of all food-related deaths, predominantly because of consumption of contaminated seafood. The ability of V. vulnificus to cause disease is linked to the production of a large cytotoxin called the "multifunctional-autoprocessing RTX" (MARTX(Vv)) toxin, a factor shown here to be an important virulence factor by the intragastric route of...
