Abstract：
:Edwardsiella piscicida is a Gram-negative pathogen that causes disease in diverse aquatic organisms. The disease leads to extensive losses in commercial aquaculture species, including farmed U.S. catfish. The type III secretion system (T3SS) often contributes to virulence of Gram-negative bacteria. The E. piscicida esaS gene encodes a predicted T3SS export apparatus protein. In the current study, an E. piscicida esaS mutant was constructed and characterized to increase our understanding of the role of T3SS in E. piscicida virulence. Deletion of esaS did not significantly affect biofilm formation and hemolytic activity of E. piscicida, but it had significant effects on expression of hemolysis and T3SS effector genes during biofilm growth. EpΔesaS showed significantly (P < 0.05) reduced virulence in catfish compared to the parent strain. No mortalities occurred in fish infected with EpΔesaS at 6.3 × 105 and 1.26 × 106 CFU/fish compared to 26% mortality in fish infected with wild-type E. piscicida at 7.5 × 105 CFU/fish. Bioluminescence imaging indicated that EpΔesaS invades catfish and colonizes for a short period in the organs. Furthermore, catfish immunized with EpΔesaS at 6.3 × 105 and 1.26 × 106 CFU provided 47% and 87% relative percent survival, respectively. These findings demonstrated that esaS plays a role in E. piscicida virulence, and the deletion mutant has vaccine potential for protection against wild-type E. piscicida infection.
