Roles of thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH) and TDH-related hemolysin (TRH) in Vibrio parahaemolyticus
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the leading cause of seafood borne bacterial gastroenteritis in the world, often associated with the consumption of raw or undercooked seafood. However, not all strains of V. parahaemolyticus are pathogenic. The thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH) or TDH-related hemolysin (TRH) encoded by tdh and trh genes, respectively, are considered major virulence factors in V. pa...
متن کاملSequence variation in the thermostable direct hemolysin-related hemolysin (trh) gene of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
Our previous molecular epidemiologic study with gene probes (H. Shirai, H. Ito, T. Hirayama, Y. Nakamoto, N. Nakabayashi, K. Kumagai, Y. Takeda, and M. Nishibuchi, Infect. Immun. 58:3568-3573, 1990) demonstrated that the gene (trh) encoding a thermostable direct hemolysin-related hemolysin was strongly associated with clinical strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Strain-to-strain variation in th...
متن کاملAnalysis of the thermostable direct hemolysin (tdh) gene and the tdh-related hemolysin (trh) genes in urease-positive strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated on the West Coast of the United States.
Urease-positive (Ure+) and urease-negative (Ure-) strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated from patients on the West Coast of the United States between 1979 and 1995 were analyzed for the thermostable direct hemolysin (tdh) gene and the tdh-related hemolysin (trh) genes (trh1 and trh2). The DNA colony hybridization method with the polynucleotide probes was used to determine the distribution ...
متن کاملCloning and nucleotide sequence of the gene (trh) encoding the hemolysin related to the thermostable direct hemolysin of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates derived from an outbreak of gastroenteritis in the Republic of Maldives did not have the genetic potential to produce the thermostable direct hemolysin, but one such isolate produced a hemolysin immunologically related to the thermostable direct hemolysin (T. Honda, Y. Ni, and T. Miwatani, Infect. Immun. 56:61-965, 1988). The Maldives isolates hybridized with th...
متن کاملCl(-) secretion in colonic epithelial cells induced by the vibrio parahaemolyticus hemolytic toxin related to thermostable direct hemolysin.
A hemolytic toxin related to thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH), TDH-related hemolysin (TRH), produced by Kanagawa-phenomenon-negative Vibrio parahaemolyticus is suspected of playing an important, but yet-to-be-elucidated role in diarrhea caused by this organism. In cultured human colonic epithelial cells, TRH increases Cl(-) secretion, followed by elevation of intracellular calcium.
