A virulence gene typing scheme for Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida, the causative agent of fish photobacteriosis, reveals a high prevalence of plasmid-encoded virulence factors and of type III secretion system genes
2020-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Fish photobacteriosis caused by Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida (Pdp) constitutes one of the major diseases affecting marine aquaculture worldwide. Although several virulence factors have been described in this pathogen, its pathobiology is still poorly understood. Two virulence factors, the exotoxin AIP56 and the siderophore piscibactin, are encoded by plasmids. Notably, presence of genes of a type III s...
