A Vibrio cholerae protease needed for killing of Caenorhabditis elegans has a role in protection from natural predator grazing.

TL;DR: A key role for PrtV is demonstrated in V. cholerae interaction with grazing predators, and Caenorhabditis elegans is established as a convenient organism for identification of V. Cholerae factors involved in host interactions and environmental persistence.

Quorum Sensing Regulation of the Two hcp Alleles in Vibrio cholerae O1 Strains
TL;DR: It is shown that serotype O1 strains of V. cholerae do express Hcp which is regarded as one of the important T6SS components and isone of the secreted substrates in non-O1non-O139 V.cholerae isolates.
NOD-Like Receptor Activation by Outer Membrane Vesicles from Vibrio cholerae Non-O1 Non-O139 Strains Is Modulated by the Quorum-Sensing Regulator HapR

TL;DR: This study shows that NOVC OMVs elicit immune responses mediated by NOD1 and NOD2 in mammalian host cells, and provides evidence that the quorum-sensing machinery plays an important regulatory role in this process by attenuating the inflammatory potential of OMVs under infective conditions.

The metalloprotease PrtV from Vibrio cholerae.
Karolis Vaitkevicius,Pramod Kumar Rompikuntal,Barbro Lindmark,Rimas Vaitkevicius,Tianyan Song,Sun Nyunt Wai +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that the extracellular matrix components fibronectin and fibrinogen were degraded by the enzyme, and additional tests with individual protein substrates revealed that plasminogen was also a possible target for the PrtV protease.
The Origin of Vibrio cholerae Influences Uptake and Persistence in the Blue Mussel Mytilus edulis
Betty Collin,Ann-Sofi Rehnstam-Holm,Barbro Lindmark,Amit Pal,Sun Nyunt Wai,Bodil Hernroth,Bodil Hernroth +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the highly virulent El Tor biotype was not taken up by the mussels and could thereby escape the Mussels' elimination process, and the potentially fatal non-O1/O139 V. cholerae strain may accumulate in low numbers, but could be very persistent in mussels.
