Comparing the different morphotypes of a fish pathogen--implications for key virulence factors in Flavobacterium columnare.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Salmonella enteritidis is suggested to translocate in the small intestine. In vivo it induces gene expression changes in the ileal mucosa and Peyer's patches. Stimulation of Salmonella translocation by dietary prebiotics fermented in colon suggests involvement of the colon as well. However, effects of Salmon...
