Regulation system of serine protease production in Vibrio vulnificus strain NCIMB 2137, a metalloprotease-gene negative strain isolated from a diseased eel

2013-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Vibrio vulnificus is a ubiquitous estuarine microorganism but causes fatal systemic infections in cultured eels or shrimps, as well as in immunocompromised humans. An extracellular metalloprotease has been reported to be a potential virulence factor of the bacterium; however, a few strains isolated from a diseased eel or shrimp were recently found to produce a serine protease termed VvsA. In the present study, we...
