S4Sm acts as a probiotic bacterium against the oyster pathogen Here, we report that S4Sm secretes three molecules that downregulate the transcription of major virulence factors, metalloprotease genes, in cultures. The effects of the S4Sm culture supernatant on the transcription of three genes involved in protease activity, namely, , , and (encoding metalloproteases A and B and their transcriptional regulator, respectively), were examined by reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). The expression of and were reduced to 36% and 6.
