Cell density- and quorum sensing-dependent expression of type VI secretion system 2 in Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

BACKGROUND: Vibrio parahaemolyticus AphA and OpaR are the two master quorum sensing (QS) regulators that are abundantly expressed at low cell density (LCD) and high cell density (HCD), respectively, with a feature of reciprocally gradient production of them with transition between LCD and HCD. The t...
