The gfc operon is involved in the formation of the O antigen capsule in Aeromonas hydrophila and contributes to virulence in channel catfish

2019-10-01

Abstract excerpt

A hypervirulent A. hydrophila (vAh) pathotype has been identified as the etiologic agent involved in disease outbreaks in farmed carp and catfish species in China and the Southeastern United States, respectively. To assess the role of the LPS O-antigen in vAh virulence, the O-antigen ligase (waaL) and O-antigen polymerase (wzy) genes were deleted. While neither waaL nor wzy were found to be required for vAh virule...
