Abstract excerpt
Vibrio vulnificus is a potent opportunistic human pathogen that contaminates the human food chain by asymptomatically colonizing seafood. The expression of the 9-gene brp exopolysaccharide locus mediates surface adherence and is controlled by the secondary signaling molecule c-di-GMP and the regulator BrpT. Here, we show that c-di-GMP and BrpT also regulate the expression of an adjacent 5-gene cluster that...
