We identified 131 strains of Vibrio fluvialis among 400 nonagglutinating Vibrio spp. isolated from patients with diarrhea in Kolkata, India. For 43 patients, V. fluvialis was the sole pathogen identified. Most strains harbored genes encoding hemolysin and metalloprotease; this finding may contribute to understanding of the pathogenicity of V. fluvialis.

Article Synopsis
  • The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is crucial for Gram-negative bacteria, helping them compete and survive against various organisms, with two functional variants (VflT6SS1 and VflT6SS2) identified.
  • The CqsA/LuxS-HapR quorum sensing system regulates VflT6SS2's function through proteins LuxO (which represses) and HapR (which activates), with quorum regulatory small RNAs (Qrr sRNAs) influencing this process.
  • The study discovered four Qrr sRNAs, confirming their role in modulating VflT6SS2 by indirectly affecting HapR and directly repressing key genes, thus shedding light on the interplay between quorum sensing and

The Sundarbans mangrove, located at the mouth of the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers, is the world's largest tidal mangrove forest. These mangroves are also one of the most striking sources of microbial diversity, essential in productivity, conservation, nutrient cycling, and rehabilitation. Hence, the main objective of this study was to use metagenome analysis and provide detailed insight into microbial communities and their functional roles in the Sundarbans mangrove ecosystem.

Article Synopsis
  • Egg yolk antibodies (IgY) can be produced efficiently and have promise as passive vaccines against bacteria in fish farming.
  • The study showed that both live and inactivated Vibrio fluvialis IgY provided significant protection to goldfish (Carassius auratus) against infections from V. fluvialis and Aeromonas hydrophila.
  • Results indicated that live V. fluvialis IgY was more effective than its inactivated counterpart, enhancing immune response and maintaining healthy tissue structures in the fish.
