Are type IV pili involved in Vibrio anguillarum virulence towards sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) larvae? KU Leuven
Vibrio anguillarum, an important bacterial fish pathogen, expresses a variety of virulence fac- tors contributing to its ability to cause vibriosis in fish. Many virulence factors of this pathogen remain however unknown. For example, a type IV pilus system was previously reported to be potentially involved in the virulence of this bac- terium but no experimental evidence was re- ported yet. In this study, complete genome se- quencing of V. ...
