Abstract excerpt
Edwardsiella piscicida is a Gram-negative facultative intracellular bacterium causing edwardsiellosis in catfish, the largest aquaculture industry in the United States. A safe and effective vaccine is an urgent need to avoid economic losses associated with E. piscicida outbreaks. PhoP/PhoQ is a two-component signal transduction system (TCS) that plays an important role in bacterial pathogenesis through sense and...
