Role of cold shock proteins B and D in Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida physiology and virulence in lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus).

ABSTRACT: Cold shock proteins (Csp) are pivotal nucleic acid binding proteins known for their crucial roles in the physiology and virulence of various bacterial pathogens affecting plant, insect, and mammalian hosts. However, their significance in bacterial pathogens of teleost fish remains unexplored. Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida (hereafter A. salmonicida) is a psychrotrophic pathogen and the causative agent of furunculosis in marine and freshwater fish. Four csp genes (cspB, cspD, cspA, and cspC) have been identified in the genome of A. salmonicida J223 (wild type). Here, we evaluated the role of DNA binding proteins, CspB and CspD, in A. salmonicida physiology and virulence in lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus). A. salmonici
