Abstract excerpt
Antibodies targeting the O-specific polysaccharide (OSP) of Vibrio cholerae O1 are crucial determinants of protection against cholera. These antibodies agglutinate bacteria and, even in sub-agglutinating conditions, inhibit V. cholerae motility. To explore additional effects of OSP-specific antibodies, we examined the transcriptomic profiles of V. cholerae exposed to a human anti-OSP monoclonal antibody in the...
