Like toxR; are there any other virulence genes which are widely present among majority of the vibrios, which can be used as virulence markers to screen wide group of vibrio isolates?
I think the bacterial RNAse YbeY gene is also conserved. Otherwise, some virulence associated secretion genes maybe conserved too, atleast in some vibrios.
I have done a research lately where I found interesting findings about virulent Vibro cholerae, may be your question is not related to this answer but I think you will find this study useful; if you want to read it faster just skip to the discussion directly
