Aeromonas veronii (A. veronii) is a pathogen that can infect aquatic organisms and mammals. This study found that the mutant strain Delta lip led to a decrease in the adhesion and virulence of the wild-type strain.
Aeromonas veronii (A. veronii) is a pathogen that can infect aquatic organisms and mammals and has caused irrecoverable economic losses to the aquaculture industry. The results of an epidemiological investigation showed that the number of cases of A. veronii have increased gradually in recent years, and its drug resistance and virulence has shown an upward trend. In this study, we constructed an A. veronii mutant strain Delta lip, by homologous recombination and studied its function. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the biofilm formation ability between the Delta lip and the wild-type strain, but the toxicity of the Delta lip to EPC cells and its ability to adhere to EPC cells were significantly reduced. The LD50 value of the Delta lip to zebrafish was 7.40-fold higher than that of the wild-type strain. In addition, after 24 h and 72 h, the bacterial loads of the Delta lip in the organs of crucian carp were significantly lower than those in the wild-type strain. In conclusion, the mutant strain Delta lip led to a decrease in the adhesion and virulence of the wild-type strain, which lays a foundation to further understand lip gene function and the pathogenic mechanism of A. veronii.
