Cloning and determination gene sequences of outer membrane proteins OmpK and OmpU in Vibrio parahaemolyticus N9

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is one of the dangerous pathogens of aquatic animals, including fish. The outer membrane proteins play an essential role in bacterial virulence and are potential candidates for vaccine development. In this study, the virulence of four V. parahaemolyticus strains was studied, and the result was that strain. The V. parahaemolyticus N9 has the strongest virulence with an LD50 of 106.15 CFU/mL.
