Quorum sensing regulates virulence factors in the coral pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus

ABSTRACT The bacterial pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus causes disease in coral species worldwide. The mechanisms of V. coralliilyticus coral colonization, coral microbiome interactions, and virulence factor production are understudied. In other model Vibrio species, virulence factors like biofilm fo...
