LpxD gene knockout elicits protection to Litopenaeus vannamei, white shrimp, against Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection
2019-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative bacterium causing acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) in white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. LpxD gene, a principal component of lipid A, which plays a vital role in the biosynthesis of lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) responsible for the pathogenesis of Gram-negative bacteria However, the function of lpxD in V. parahaemolyticus’ virulence has not been studied. In t...
