RTX Toxin Enhances the Survival of Vibrio vulnificus During Infection by Protecting the Organism From Phagocytosis

Vibrio vulnificus is a marine bacterium causing serious septicemia and wound infection in humans. It produces an RTX toxin that can lyse a variety of cells and is important for virulence in mice. In this study, we explored the role of RTX in pathogenesis by characterizing an RTX-deficient mutant. Th...
