Bap1 (Biofilm-Associated protein 1) is an extracellular matrix protein from the bacterium Vibrio cholerae that aids in biofilm architecture and adhesion affinity to living surfaces. <scene name='82/823085/6mlt_cartoon_view/2'>~~6MLT~~ Cartoon View</scene> Bap1 is also responsible for the biofilm resistance to aqueous environments, acid conditions, antibiotics and the human immune system making the V. cholerae biofilm very versatile and difficult to eradicate. Vibrio cholerae biofilms are made up of Vibrio polysaccharides, nucleic acids and matrix proteins RBmA, RbmC, and Bap1. V. cholerae biofilms are linked to increased transmission, virulence and resistance to various environments, which resulted in pandemic cholera. The biofilm resistance and adhesion affinity promote survival in a multitude of environments including mammalian stomachs. The increased resistance and adhesion affinity increase the virulence of the bacterium resulting in a greater probability of contraction, infection and disease.
