The relative contributions of toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP) and cell-associated mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin (MSHA) to the colonization ability of Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor biotype strains and O139 Bengal strains was determined by using isogenic parental and in-frame deletion mutant pairs in the infant mouse cholera model. Both the El Tor and O139 tcpA mutant strains showed a dramatic defect in colonization as indicated by their competitive indices, whereas deletion of mshA had a negligible effect on colonization in either background.
通过在幼鼠霍乱模型中使用同基因亲本和框内缺失突变体对,确定了毒素共调节菌毛(TCP)和细胞相关甘露糖敏感血凝素(MSHA)对霍乱弧菌O1 El Tor生物型菌株和O139孟加拉菌株定植能力的相对贡献。El Tor和O139 tcpA突变株的竞争指数表明,它们在定植方面存在显著缺陷,而在任一背景下,mshA的缺失对定植的影响都可以忽略不计。
