The goal of my master thesis is to identify potential adhesins of fish pathogen Yersinia ruckeri. The type Ve secretion proteins are here in focus. The adhesins would then be expressed in E.coli cells and used in adhesion assays to the fish cell lines. In this way also the receptors for adhesins could be determined. The findings would help to understand the role of invasin-like molecule in host infection.
