FIG 2.

V. parahaemolyticus clinical, non-AHPND, and AHPND strains contain a conserved but differentially regulated T6SS2. (A) Schematic representation of the V. parahaemolyticus T6SS2 gene cluster. RIMD2210633 strain locus numbers are shown above and gene names below. (B) Expression (Cell) and secretion (Media) of V. parahaemolyticus T6SS2 component Hcp2 by the indicated V. parahaemolyticus strains grown in LB at 23°C or 37°C for 5 h and analyzed by Western blotting using α-Hcp2 antibody. PAR, parental strain. LC, loading control.
