Genetic structure, function and evolution of capsule biosynthesis loci in <i>Vibrio parahaemolyticus</i>
2020-02-25
Abstract excerpt
Capsule-forming extracellular polysaccharides are crucial to bacterial host colonization, invasion, immune evasion and ultimately pathogenicity. Due to warming ocean waters and human encroachment of coastal ecosystems, Vibrio parahaemolyticus has emerged as a globally important food-borne enteropathogen implicated in acute gastroenteritis, wound infections, and septic shock. Conventionally, the antigenic properti...
