LitR of Vibrio salmonicida is a salinity-sensitive quorum-sensing regulator of phenotypes involved in host interactions and virulence.

Abstract excerpt

Vibrio (Aliivibrio) salmonicida is the causal agent of cold-water vibriosis, a fatal bacterial septicemia primarily of farmed salmonid fish. The molecular mechanisms of invasion, colonization, and growth of V. salmonicida in the host are still largely unknown, and few virulence factors have been identified. Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell-to-cell communication system known to regulate virulence and other activities...
