| Research Abstract |
We analyzed the environmental adaptation mechanisms in Vibrios. In Vibrio parahaemolyticus, respiratory Na+ pump as well as Na+/H+ antiporters plays an important role for Na+ extrusion from the cells. Multidrug efflux pumps are essential for the resistance for bile acids and antimicrobial agents, and we identified seven new pumps in V. parahaemolyticus. The mutant which lacked 14 multidrug efflux pump genes showed hyper sensitivity to bile acids and antimicrobial agents. It was also suggested the mutant showed lower pathogenicity in rabbit intestinal tract.
