The Vibrio vulnificus aphB mutant was significantly less virulent than the wild type and was impaired in motility and adherence to host cells. Microarray analysis revealed that AphB of V. vulnificus (AphB(Vv)) influences the expression of over 10% of the V. vulnificus genome. The combined results indicated that AphB(Vv) is a global regulator contributing to the pathogenesis of V. vulnificus.
创伤弧菌aphB突变体的毒力明显低于野生型,其运动性和对宿主细胞的黏附能力也受损。微阵列分析表明,创伤弧菌的AphB(AphB(Vv))影响超过10%的创伤弧菌基因组的表达。综合结果表明,AphB(Vv)是一种参与创伤弧菌致病机制的全局调节因子。
