Abstract

A systematic analysis of the type III secretion genes of Aeromonas hydrophila strain AH-1 by constructing ahyR and ahyI mutant revealed that they are under quorum-sensing control. This observation was supported by the down-regulation of the TTSS genes in the presence of lacZ-TTSS gene promoter and the corresponding advanced secretion of AexT in ahyl mutant.
