Characterization of a novel zinc transporter ZnuA acquired by Vibrio parahaemolyticus through horizontal gene transfer

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a clinically important foodborne pathogen that causes acute gastroenteritis worldwide. It has been shown that horizontal gene transfer contributes significantly to virulence development of V. parahaemolyticus. In this study, we identified a novel znuA homologue (vpa1307)...
