Chemotactic invasion in deep soft tissue by Vibrio vulnificus is essential for the progression of necrotic lesions

Chemotactic invasion in deep soft tissue by Vibrio vulnificus is essential for the progression of necrotic lesions

Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI) progress to severe necrosis and result in fatal sepsis within a short time. Vibrio vulnificus is a causative agent and can spread from the initial infection site through soft tissue finally to the systemic circulation of the host. The motility and chemotaxis...
