Transcriptional regulation of the virulence genes and the biofilm formation associated operons in Vibrio parahaemolyticus

Abstract Background The membrane fusion protein (mfp) gene locus of Vibrio parahaemolyticus consists of two operons, cpsQ-mfpABC and mfpABC, which are both required for biofilm formation. ToxR and CalR are required for the full virulence of V. parahaemolyticus, and their mutual regulation has been d...
