AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how Vibrio parahaemolyticus invades host cells using a specific assay.
- Researchers used cells with a dominant negative version of small GTPases from the Rho family to see how they affect invasion.
- The findings indicate that the way V. parahaemolyticus invades cells is different from the invasion methods of other bacteria.
Article Abstract
To clarify the invasive process of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, an invasion assay was performed using cells expressing dominant negative small GTPases of the Rho family. This assay showed that the dominant negative host phenotype facilitates bacterial invasion, suggesting that the mechanism of V. parahaemolyticus invasion differs from that reported for other invasive bacteria.
