A comparative study of low-pH tolerance and chitinase activity between toxigenic and non-toxigenic strains of <i>Vibrio cholerae</i>
2023-02-13
Abstract excerpt
Cholera toxin, encoded by the ctx gene, is a key virulence factor in toxigenic Vibrio cholerae ( ctx + ) strains. However, some non-toxigenic V. cholerae ( ctx - ) strains are also pathogenic to humans and the mechanism involved in low-pH tolerance and pathogenicity in these strains remains unclear. To address this, we profiled the growth and chitinase activity in different pH of two clinical isolates of V....
