Role of the Mycobacterium marinum ESX-1 Secretion System in Sliding Motility and Biofilm Formation
30 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium marinum is a close relative of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that can cause systemic tuberculosis-like infections in ectotherms and skin infections in humans. Sliding motility correlates with biofilm formation and virulence in most bacteria. In this study, we used a sliding motility assay to screen 2304 transposon mutants of M. marinum NTUH-M6885 and identified five transposon mutants with decreased...
