However, the thermolabile hemolysin (encoded by tlh) was detected in all the strains except for a few—e.g., V. barjaei 1-TCBS-B, V. rumoiensis 4-MA-B, and 14-MA-B—indicating a common virulence mechanism that may contribute to the pathogenicity of these species in causing the lysis of red blood cells [101] and diarrheal diseases. Here, PLOD2 is linked to diarrheal disease.
