What is Vibrio splendidus Enterotoxin in Fish Larvae about?
This study examines an aerolysin-like enterotoxin produced by Vibrio splendidus that may be involved in intestinal damage and mortality in turbot and cod larvae. Transposon mutagenesis was used to generate haemolysin-negative mutants of V. splendidus. These mutants were found to have lost virulence for larval fish but still colonized the intestinal tract similarly to the wild type. The transposon insertion site was located within a gene with high homology to aerolysin. The haemolysin, termed vibrioaerolysin
