Vibrio cholerae is the causative agent of cholera, a dehydrating diarrheal disease. This Gram-negative pathogen able to modulate its gene expression in order combat stresses encountered both aquatic and host environments, including stress posed by reactive oxygen species (ROS). In further understanding V. cholerae's transcriptional response ROS, we performed an RNA sequencing analysis determine profile when exposed hydrogen hydroperoxide. Of 135 differentially expressed genes, VC0139 was...

Bacterial pathogens display versatile gene expression to adapt changing surroundings. For example, Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of cholera, utilizes distinct genetic programs combat reactive oxygen species (ROS) in aquatic environments or during host infection. We previously reported that virulence activator AphB V. cholerae is involved ROS resistance. Here by performing a screen, we show represses resistance ohrA, which also repressed another regulator, OhrR. Reduced forms both and...
