Abstract excerpt
Edwardsiella piscicida is a Gram-negative pathogen that causes disease in diverse aquatic organisms. The disease leads to extensive losses in commercial aquaculture species, including farmed U.S. catfish. The type III secretion system (T3SS) often contributes to virulence of Gram-negative bacteria. The E. piscicida esaS gene encodes a predicted T3SS export apparatus protein. In the current study, an E. piscicida...
