Abstract:Vibrio vulnificus
is an opportunistic pathogen that causes gastroenteritis and septicemia in humans. The
V. vulnificus
multifunctional-autoprocessing repeats-in-toxin (MARTX) toxin is a pore-forming toxin that translocates multiple functionally independent effector domains into target cells and an essential virulence factor for fatal disease.
“…( Fig. 1A ) ( 20 to 23 ). Among V. vulnificus isolates, there are multiple MARTX toxin variants each with a unique repertoire of effector domains ( 24 , 25 ) ( Fig.…”
Vibrio vulnificus
is an aquatic pathogen that is capable of causing severe disease in humans. Previous studies have suggested that pathogenic isolates were restricted to certain phylogenetic lineages and possibly toxinotype.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
