Vibrio vulnificus as a health hazard for shrimp consumers.
Over the last 30 years, a number of Vibrio species found in the aquatic environment have been indicated as cause of disease in human beings. Vibrio vulnificus is an emergent pathogen, an invasive and lethal marine bacterium related to wound infection and held accountable for gastroenteritis and primary septicemia. It occurs quite frequently in marine organisms, mainly in mollusks. This study ai...
متن کاملPhospholipase A as a potent virulence factor of Vibrio vulnificus.
Vibrio vulnificus infection has attracted special interest because of its high mortality rate. However, the identification of its major pathogenic determinant still remains obscure. In this study, a cytolysin-negative mutant strain of V. vulnificus CVD707 was used to determine the role of phospholipase A (PLA) in the pathogenesis of this bacterial infection. The mutant strain caused the lysis o...
متن کاملHybrid Vibrio vulnificus
The recent emergence of the human-pathogenic Vibrio vulnificus in Israel was investigated by using multilocus genotype data and modern molecular evolutionary analysis tools. We show that this pathogen is a hybrid organism that evolved by the hybridization of the genomes from 2 distinct and independent populations. These findings provide clear evidence of how hybridization between 2 existing and...
متن کاملVibrio vulnificus in Taiwan
Residents in Taiwan are often exposed to marine microorganisms through seafood and occupational exposure. The number of reported cases of infection attributable to this organism has increased since the first case was reported in 1985. The increasing number of cases may be caused by greater disease activity or improved recognition by clinicians or laboratory workers. We analyze a clinical-case s...
متن کاملVibrio vulnificus endometritis.
Vibrio vulnificus most frequently causes wound infections contracted after exposure to seawater or primary septicemias resulting from the consumption of raw oysters. We report a case of endometritis caused by V. vulnificus. The infection was apparently acquired during the act of sexual intercourse in seawater in an area in which V. vulnificus has been frequently isolated. The efficacy of treatm...
