2024-07-29
Abstract excerpt
Vibrio cholerae is a gram-negative curved rod-shaped bacterium responsible for cholera, an intestinal infection characterized by severe acute watery diarrhea that can be fatal if untreated. The major virulence factor for Vibrio cholerae is cholera toxin ( ctx ), a potent toxin which has two subunits, A and B (ctxAB), that are crucial for the progression of the deadly disease. The B subunit is a pentavalent prote...
