    Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative halophilic bacterium that is widely distributed in marine environments and marine organisms


    LPS plays an important role in the pathogenic mechanism of most Gram-negative pathogens

    Results and DiscussionThe control effect of waaf gene on the serum of Vibrio parahaemolyticus

    The waaf gene deletion mutant (Δ waaf ) of O3:K6 strain (WT) was constructed by chitin-mediated transformation technology , and an apoplectic strain (C-Δ waaf ) was constructed by combining transfer method

    The effect of waaf gene on the surface of Vibrio parahaemolyticus

    The results of scanning electron microscopy showed that the extracellular material of the Δwaaf

    Influence of waaf gene on pathogenicity of Vibrio parahaemolyticus

    The three strains were administered orally to mice, and the growth and survival of mice were observed

    Effect of waaf gene on bacterial cell adhesion

    The invasion ability of the three strains was determined by Caco-2 cells, and the results showed that the invasion of the Δwaaf strain was significantly lower than that of the other two strains; The number of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the intestinal tract of mice with the Δwaaf strain was significantly lower than that of the other two strains, and the above results indicated that the waaf gene knockout could reduce the bacterial adhesion

    Effects of waaf gene on virulence genes and their upstream and downstream genes

    The main virulence gene ( tdh ) of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and the expression of upstream and downstream genes of waaf in the three strains were determined by fluorescence quantitative PCR .

    Conclusion

    The waaf gene can control serotype changes in Vibrio parahaemolyticus
