Disease relevance of Vibrionaceae

• We have investigated the gene-enzyme relationship in the arginine regulons of two psychrophilic Moritella strains belonging to the Vibrionaceae, a family phylogenetically related to the Enterobacteriaceae [1].
• To investigate the involvement of RpoN in flagellum production and pathogenicity of Vibrio (Listonella) anguillarum, the rpoN gene was cloned and sequenced [2].
• Norspermidine was detected as a major triamine in 23 of 24 Vibrio species, all of 4 Listonella species, and 3 of 5 Photobacterium species [3].
• Intracellular bacterial protein from some representatives of the families Enterobacteriaceae and Vibrionaceae has been investigated using thin layer iso-electric focusing in polyacrylamide gel [4].

High impact information on Vibrionaceae

• Polar flagellar motility of the Vibrionaceae [5].
• The assay detects phosphoglucose isomerase with a lysyl aminopeptidase activity that is produced by Vibrionaceae family members [6].
• Neg Combo 20 Microscan panels and API 20 NE were unable to identify any of the strains of this emerging pathogen to the species level and mostly misidentifies them as other species of the Vibrionaceae family [7].
• Here, we determined that leucine-dependent acetone formation is widespread in the Vibrionaceae [8].
• Antibiotic susceptibilities of the Vibrionaceae to meropenem and other antimicrobial agents [9].

Chemical compound and disease context of Vibrionaceae

• Sugar composition of lipopolysaccharides of family Vibrionaceae. Absence of 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonate (KDO) except in Vibrio parahaemolyticus O6 [10].
• The undetectability of Kdo in LPS after conventional hydrolysis and the occurrence of phosphorylated Kdo in strong-acid hydrolysates and of Kdo 4-phosphate in the inner-core region are taxonomic characteristics of the family Vibrionaceae [11].
• Our data indicate that the occurrence of norspermidine may be very helpful as a generic marker in identification and classification of Vibrio and Listonella species [3].
• The Mx response to the purified Listonella anguillarum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and DNA in fish held at 10 degrees C showed some differences in the rate of onset [12].
• Hydrolytic release, and identification by g.l.c.-m.s., of 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid in the lipopolysaccharides isolated from bacteria of the Vibrionaceae [13].

Gene context of Vibrionaceae

• Sixty isolates, from nine species of the family Vibrionaceae, were tested by the API 20E, API Rapid E, and API Rapid NFT systems [14].
• A survey for phosphoglucose isomerase with lysyl aminopeptidase activity in Vibrionaceae and non-Vibrio pathogens [15].
