Pleiotropic effects of the twin-arginine translocation system on biofilm formation, colonization, and virulence in <it>Vibrio cholerae</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The Twin-arginine translocation (Tat) system serves to translocate folded proteins, including periplasmic enzymes that bind redox cofactors in bacteria. The Tat system is also a determinant of virulence in some pathogenic bacteria, r...
