The <jats:italic>V. cholerae relA</jats:italic> mutant was motile, produced normal biofilms, and colonized the suckling mouse intestine. Our data suggest that levels of basal guanosine nucleotides pppGpp and ppGpp, rather than the availability of a stringent response, could influence expression of virulence factors, depending on strain and culture conditions.
