Abstract excerpt
AIMS: In this study, we investigated the responsiveness of 15 Vibrio anguillarum strains to three host factors (mucin, bile salts and cholesterol). METHODS AND RESULTS: Three virulence-related phenotypes were investigated in this respect, i.e. motility, biofilm formation and exopolysaccharide production. Almost all V. anguillarum strains showed a significantly increased motility in the presence of either of the...
