Article Abstract
Twelve Vibrio cholerae isolates with genes for a type III secretion system (T3SS) were detected among 110 environmental and 14 clinical isolates. T3SS-related genes were distributed among the various serogroups and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of NotI-digested genomes showed genetic diversity in these strains. However, the restriction fragment length polymorphism profiles of the T3SS-related genes had similar patterns. Additionally, naturally competent T3SS-negative V. cholerae incorporated the ca. 47 kb gene cluster of T3SS, which had been integrated into a site on the chromosome by recombination. Therefore, it is suggested that horizontal gene transfer of T3SS-related genes occurs among V. cholerae in natural ecosystems.

In this study, we reveal that macrophage-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) can trigger the rapid formation of aggresomes, which substantially contribute to the increased frequency of persisters induced by phagocytosis. containing aggresomes exhibited a dormant phenotype characterized by reduced adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels and decreased metabolic activity. Furthermore, these dormant bacteria showed upregulated expression of pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1)-encoded type III secretion system (T3SS)-related genes, followed by later expression of SPI-2 T3SS-related genes when macrophages ROS production declined.

Bacterial fruit blotch (BFB), a destructive bacterial disease triggered by Acidovorax citrulli, affects cucurbit crops like watermelon and melon. The absorption and use of carbon sources are foundational for bacteria to successfully colonize host plants. C4-dicarboxylates are critical carbon and energy substances, and their transport is completed by the C4-dicarboxylate transport system (Dct) which plays an important role in typical bacterial metabolism.

is a multi-drug-resistant opportunistic pathogen that adapts to challenging environments by deploying virulence factors, including the type III secretion system (T3SS). Emerging evidence points to a role for NADH dehydrogenase complexes in regulating virulence; however, their precise contributions remain unclear. Here, we identify , a component of the NADH dehydrogenase complex I ( operon), as a key regulator of T3SS-related activities.
