متن کاملIdentification of Genetic bases of Vibrio fluvialis species-specific
20 Vibrio fluvialis is an important foodborne pathogen that causes diarrheal illness and 21 sometimes extraintestinal infections in humans. In this study, we sequenced the genome 22 of a clinical V. fluvialis strain and determined its phylogenetic relations to other Vibrio 23 species by comparative genomic analysis. We found that the closest relationship was 24 between V. fluvialis and V. furni...
متن کاملVibrio fluvialis and Vibrio furnissii isolated from a stool sample of one patient.
