متن کاملMolecular Pathogenesis of Vibrio vulnificus.
Vibrio vulnificus is an opportunistic pathogen of humans that has the capability of causing rare, yet devastating disease. The bacteria are naturally present in estuarine environments and frequently contaminate seafoods. Within days of consuming uncooked, contaminated seafood, predisposed individuals can succumb to sepsis. Additionally, in otherwise healthy people, V. vulnificus causes wound in...
متن کاملVibrio vulnificus infection: clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, and antimicrobial therapy.
There has been a dramatic increase in the number of reported cases of infection due to Vibrio vulnificus in Taiwan. Although the organism has been etiologically implicated in a variety of clinical syndromes, most cases of V. vulnificus infection are categorized as primary bacteremia, skin and soft tissue infection. The mortality was up to 50% in septic patients, most of them dying within 48 h o...
متن کاملOccurrence and potential pathogenesis of Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus on the South Coast of Sweden.
During the summer of 2006, several wound infections - of which three were fatal - caused by Vibrio cholerae were reported from patients who had been exposed to water from the Baltic Sea. Before these reports, we initiated a sampling project investigating the occurrence of potential human pathogenic V. cholerae, Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus in The Sound between Sweden and Denmar...
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...
