Copper detoxification in Vibrio parahaemolyticus
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a zoonotic pathogen that poses a serious threat to shrimp aquaculture and public health worldwide. Copper (Cu) serves as a catalytic cofactor and structural element in bacteria, but is toxic in excess. This study suggests that V. parahaemolyticus utilizes the CueR-regulated transporters CopA and CusFABC to coordinate Cu detoxification, which is important for this bacterium’s colonization of the zebrafish intestine.
