Necrotising fasciitis caused by Vibrio vulnificus
Necrotising fasciitis is a rapidly progressing necrotising process involving subcutaneous tissue and fascia but sparing muscles, and is accompanied by severe systemic toxicity.1 2The syndrome is often caused by group A streptococci,' 3 but it is now recognised that other bacteria may be involved, usually in mixed culture. Organisms that have been implicated include a variety of anaerobes, enter...
متن کامل[Necrotising fasciitis caused by Vibrio vulnificus].
A case of necrotising fasciitis caused by Vibrio vulnificus is described. The need for early recognition and aggressive surgical treatment are highlighted, and the necrotising infections due to V vulnificus described in the published work are reviewed.

متن کاملCatechol Siderophore Transport by Vibrio cholerae.
UNLABELLED Siderophores, small iron-binding molecules secreted by many microbial species, capture environmental iron for transport back into the cell. Vibrio cholerae synthesizes and uses the catechol siderophore vibriobactin and also uses siderophores secreted by other species, including enterobactin produced by Escherichia coli. E. coli secretes both canonical cyclic enterobactin and linear e...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of vulnibactin biosynthesis in Vibrio vulnificus indicates the existence of an alternative siderophore
Vibrio vulnificus is a halophilic estuarine bacterium that causes fatal septicemia and necrotizing wound infections in humans. Virulent V. vulnificus isolates produce a catechol siderophore called vulnibactin, made up of one residue of 2, 3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2, 3-DHBA) and two residues of salicylic acid (SA). Vulnibactin biosynthetic genes (VV2_0828 to VV2_0844) are clustered at one locus ...
