Following intranasal inoculation, Vibrio cholerae KFV101 ({Delta}ctxAB {Delta}hapA {Delta}hlyA {Delta}rtxA) colonizes and stimulates tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 1ß (IL-1ß) in mice, similar to what occurs with isogenic strain P4 ({Delta}ctxAB), but is less virulent and stimulates reduced levels of IL-6, demonstrating a role for accessory toxins in pathogenesis. Morbidity is enhanced in C3H/HeJ mice, indicating that Toll-like receptor 4 is important for infection containment.
