Pathogenicity and host-interacting mechanisms of enterogenic Enterobacter cancerogenus in silkworm by Meng Luo, Linhui Lai, Zailin Wu, Zailin Wu, Zailin Wu, Xiaoli Ren, Xiaoli Ren, Xiaoli Ren, Jiacheng Zhao, Jiacheng Zhao, Jiacheng Zhao, Hongmei Liu, Hongmei Liu, Hongmei Liu, Yaohang Long, Yaohang Long, Yaohang Long

“…However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenicity of E. cancerogenus in insect hosts remain largely unexplored.MethodsIn this study, the Bombyx mori model was employed to investigate the pathogenicity of E. cancerogenus strain ECL7, a bacterium pathogenic to silkworms, through whole-genome sequencing, 16S rDNA sequencing, and transcriptome analysis.ResultsThe results revealed that ECL7 harbors virulence genes associated with biofilm formation, adhesion, type III secretion system (T3SS), type VI secretion system (T6SS), and other factors, which collectively lead to damage to the peritrophic matrix (PM) and intestinal epithelial cells of the silkworm midgut following infection, and reduced silkworm larval survival rates and inhibited their growth and development. …”
