The quorum regulatory cascade is poorly characterized in Vibrio parahaemolyticus, in part because swarming and pathogenicity - the hallmark traits of the organism - are repressed by this scheme of gene control. As a consequence, many isolates appear silenced for quorum sensing via phase variation. I...
ORGANISM(S): Vibrio parahaemolyticus 
Here we probe the global response to calcium in the marine bacterium and pathogen Vibrio parahaemolyticus by using transcriptome, reporter and phenotypic analyses. Swarming gene expression and motility were enhanced by calcium. Calcium also stimulated expression and function of one of the organism...

Vibrio parahaemolyticus senses surfaces via impeded rotation of its polar flagellum. We have exploited this surface-sensing mechanism to trick the organism into thinking it is on a surface when it is growing in liquid. This facilitated studies of global gene expression in a way that avoided many of ...

Vibrio parahaemolyticus scr genes modulate expression of gene sets pertinent to swarming and biofilm formation. They do so by affecting the level of the second messenger c-di-GMP. Here we explore the extent of this regulation by comparing the transcriptomes of a scrABC mutant and its wild-type paren...

Vibrio parahaemolyticus an emerging pathogen that is a causative agent of foodborne gastroenteritis when raw or undercooked seafood is consumed. Previous microarray data using a Vibrio parahaemolyticus RIMD2210633 chip has shown the master quorum-sensing regulator OpaR controls virulence, type III...
