Bile Sensing: The Activation of Vibrio parahaemolyticus Virulence
Bacteria must develop resistance to various inhospitable conditions in order to survive in the human gastrointestinal tract. Bile, which is secreted by the liver, and plays an important role in food digestion also has antimicrobial properties and is able to disrupt cellular homeostasis. Paradoxically, although bile is one of the guts defenses, many studies have reported that bacteria such as Vi...
متن کاملComparative secretomics reveals novel virulence-associated factors of Vibrio parahaemolyticus
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a causative agent of serious human seafood-borne gastroenteritis disease and even death. In this study, for the first time, we obtained the secretomic profiles of seven V. parahaemolyticus strains of clinical and food origins. The strains exhibited various toxic genotypes and phenotypes of antimicrobial susceptibility and heavy metal resistance, five of which were iso...
متن کاملA novel adhesive factor contributing to the virulence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus
Bacterial adhesins play a pivotal role in the tight bacteria-host cells attachment to initiate the downstream processes and bacterial infection of hosts. In this study, we identified a novel adhesin, VpadF in V. parahaemolyticus. Deletion of VpadF in V. parahaemolyticus markedly impaired its attachment and cytotoxicity to epithelial cells, as well as attenuated the virulence in murine model. Bi...
متن کاملPanophthalmitis caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
We report a case of Vibrio parahaemolyticus panophthalmitis which resulted from contamination of a wound with water from a pond in inland Georgia. The pond was on the property of an oil refinery which receives crude oil from southern Mississippi. Cultures of the pond water 5 years later did not yield V. parahaemolyticus, but did yield non-O1 V. cholerae and had 0.28% sodium chloride content. V....
متن کاملDiarrhea induced by infection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a human pathogen that naturally inhabits marine and estuarine environments. Infection with V. parahaemolyticus is often associated with the consumption of raw or undercooked seafood, causing gastroenteritis with watery diarrhea. The presence of two type III secretion system (T3SS) proteins, thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH) and TDH-related hemolysin (TRH), has been ...
