Comparative analysis of proteins in the culture supernatants of human intestinal epithelial cells infected with the wild-type and rtxE mutant of Vibrio vulnificus
Abstract:Abstract. Bacterial virulence factors and secreted extracellular proteins from damaged host cells following infection have been recognized as key mediators in the pathophysiological alterations observed in septic shock, and have also been shown to have a synergistic influence on bacterial pathogenicity. We hypothesized that during infections, virulence factors as well as host-shed proteins may synergistically influence aspects of the pathogenicity of V. vulnificus, such as primary septic shock and overproducti… Show more
