FlgN plays important roles in the adhesion of Aeromonas hydrophila to host mucus

X. Jiang, Qin, Y. X., Lin, G. F., Huang, L., Huang, B., Huang, W. S., and Yan, Q. P., FlgN plays important roles in the adhesion of Aeromonas hydrophila to host mucus, vol. 14, pp. 6376-6386, 2015.

Adhesion to the host mucus is a crucial step in the early infection stage of pathogenic bacteria. To investigate the mechanisms of the adhesion of Aeromonas hydrophila to its host mucus, a mutant library was constructed using the mini-Tn10 transposon mutagenesis system. Of 276 individual colonies, the mutant strain with the most attenuated adhesion ability in this study was screened out and designated A77.
