Vibrio cholerae Cytolysin Causes an Inflammatory Response in Human Intestinal Epithelial Cells That Is Modulated by the PrtV Protease

BACKGROUND: Vibrio cholerae is the causal intestinal pathogen of the diarrheal disease cholera. It secretes the protease PrtV, which protects the bacterium from invertebrate predators but reduces the ability of Vibrio-secreted factor(s) to induce interleukin-8 (IL-8) production by human intestinal e...
