Vibrio vulnificus quorum-sensing system operates in cirrhotic ascites, a human ex vivo experimental system

2013-03-01

Abstract excerpt

This study was conducted to experimentally determine whether a Vibrio vulnificus quorum sensing (QS) system actually operates ex vivo. The expressions of luxS encoding autoinducer-2 synthase, of smcR encoding the master regulator of QS system, and of vvpE encoding a metalloprotease, the best known target directly regulated by QS, were increased with increasing bacterial density in cirrhotic ascites used as a human...
