The Vibrio cholerae Seventh Pandemic islands act in tandem to defend against a circulating phage

W.-L. Ng, B. J. O'Hara, M. Alam

This paper identifies a phage sensitive to Vibrio cholerae's VSP islands and shows these islands provide phage defense, regulated by quorum sensing.

Impact of a human gut microbe on Vibrio cholerae host colonization through biofilm enhancement

K. Barrasso, D. Chac, M. D. Debele, C. Geigel, J. B. Harris, R. C. LaRocque, F. S. Midani, F. Qadri, J. Yan, A. A. Weil, W.-L. Ng

This study shows that Paracoccus aminovorans enhances Vibrio cholerae colonization in the murine intestine through dual-species biofilm formation dependent on VPS and other biofilm components.

Ethanolamine regulates CqsR quorum-sensing signaling in Vibrio cholerae

W.-L. Ng, S. Watve, K. Barrasso, S. A. Jung, K. J. Davis, L. A. Hawver, A. Khataokar, R. G. Palaganas, M. B. Neiditch, L. J. Perez

This study identifies ethanolamine as a signal that modulates CqsR quorum-sensing in Vibrio cholerae, revealing its role in integrating environmental cues with QS responses.
