Temperature-dependent alterations in the proteome of the emergent fish pathogen Edwardsiella piscicida.

ABSTRACT: Edwardsiella piscicida is an emerging bacterial pathogen and the aetiological agent of edwardsiellosis among cultured and wild fish species globally. The increased frequency of outbreaks of this Gram-negative, facultative intracellular pathogen pose not only a threat to the aquaculture industry but also a possible foodborne/waterborne public health risk due to the ill-defined zoonotic potential. Thus, understanding the role of temperature on the virulence of this emerging pathogen is essential for comprehending the pathogenesis of piscine edwardsiellosis in the context of current warming trends associated with climate change, as well as providing insight into its zoonotic potential. In this study, significant temperature-dependent alterations in bacterial growth patterns were observed, wit
