A conserved tad pilus promotes Vibrio vulnificus oyster colonization.

Environmental microbiology - 1 Feb 2018

Pu Meng, Duriez Patrick, Arazi Mattan, Rowe-Magnus Dean A

Abstract excerpt

Vibrio vulnificus has the highest death rate (>35%) and per-case economic burden ($3.3 million) of any foodborne pathogen in the United States. Infections occur via open wounds or following ingestion of contaminated seafood, most infamously oysters. We isolated a 1000th generation descendant, designated NT that exhibited increased biofilm and aggregate formation relative to its parent. We identified two...
