      Background: Aliivibrio wodanis and Moritella viscosa have often been isolated concurrently from fish with winterulcer disease. Little is known about the interaction between the two bacterial species and how the presence of one bacterial species affects the behaviour of the other. Results: The impact on bacterial growth in co-culture was investigated in vitro, and the presence of A. wodanis has an ...

      Escherichia coli is a leading cause of invasive bacterial infections in humans. Capsule polysaccharide has an important role in bacterial pathogenesis, and the K1 capsule has been firmly established as one of the most potent capsule types in E. coli through its association with severe infections. However, little is known about its distribution, evolution and functions across the E. coli phylogeny, ...
