A stealth adhesion factor contributes to <i>Vibrio vulnificus</i> pathogenicity: Flp pili play roles in host invasion, survival in the blood stream and resistance to complement activation

2019-04-18

Abstract excerpt

The tad operons encode the machinery required for adhesive Flp (fimbrial low-molecular-weight protein) pili biogenesis. Vibrio vulnificus , an opportunistic pathogen, harbors three distinct tad loci. Among them, only tad1 locus was highly upregulated in in vivo growing bacteria compared to in vitro culture condition. To understand the pathogenic roles of the three tad loci during infection, we constructed si...
