rstB Regulates Expression of the Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae Major Virulence Factors Damselysin, Phobalysin P and Phobalysin C. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2017 The marine pathogenic bacterium Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae causes septicemia in marine animals and in humans. The pPHDD1 plasmid-encoded hemolysins damselysin (Dly) and phobalysin P (PhlyP), and the chromosome-encoded hemolysin phobalysin C (PhlyC) constitute its main virulence factors.

The Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae hemolysins damselysin and HlyA are encoded within a new virulence plasmid. [PDF]
Infect Immun, 2011 ABSTRACT Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae (formerly Vibrio damsela ) is a marine bacterium that causes infections and fatal disease in a wide range of marine animals and in humans. Highly hemolytic strains produce damselysin (Dly), a cytolysin encoded by the

Cloning and expression of the damselysin gene from Vibrio damsela. [PDF]
Infect Immun, 1990 The gene encoding damselysin, an extracellular cytolysin produced by virulent Vibrio damsela strains, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. DNA sequences homologous to that of the cloned gene were detected in hemolytic strains of V. damsela but not in other hemolytic Vibrio species.

Low salinity activates a virulence program in the generalist marine pathogen Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae [PDF]
mSystems, 2023 Facultative marine bacterial pathogens sense environmental signals so that the expression of virulence factors is upregulated on entry into hosts and downregulated during the free-living lifestyle in the environment.
