Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and PCR characterization of environmental Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains of different origins.

چکیده
The present study used pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) characterization to examine the intraspecies variability and genetic relationships among environmental isolates of Vibrio parahaemolyticus from different European countries. This is first study performed on environmental V. parahaemolyticus that included more than one European country.

Prevalence of pandemic thermostable direct hemolysin-producing Vibrio parahaemolyticus O3:K6 in seafood and the coastal environment in Japan.
Although thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH)-producing Vibrio parahaemolyticus has caused many infections in Asian countries, the United States, and other countries, it has been difficult to detect the same pathogen in seafoods and other environmental samples. In this study, we detected and enumerated tdh gene-positive V. parahaemolyticus in Japanese seafoods with a tdh-specific PCR method, a c...

A total of 54 Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains including pandemic O3:K6 strains and newly emerged O4:K68, O1:K25, O1:K26, and O1:K untypeable strains (collectively referred to as the "pandemic group") were examined for their pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and arbitrarily primed PCR (AP-PCR) profiles and for the presence or absence of genetic marker DNA sequences, toxRS/new or orf8, that...
متن کاملCharacterization of pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates from clinical sources in Spain and comparison with Asian and North American pandemic isolates.
In spite of the potential risk involved with contamination of seafood with Vibrio parahaemolyticus, there is a lack of information on the occurrence of pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus in Europe. This organism was isolated in 1999 from a large outbreak (64 cases admitted to a single hospital) associated with raw oyster consumption in Galicia, Spain, one of the most important regions in shellfish ...
متن کاملCharacterization of clinical Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains in Zhoushan, China, from 2013 to 2014
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is recognized as major cause of foodborne illness of global public health concern. This study collected 107 strains of V. parahaemolyticus during active surveillance of diarrheal diseases in hospitals in Zhoushan during 2013 to 2014 and investigated their serotypes, virulence genes (tdh, trh, and orf8), antimicrobial resistance, and genotypes. The dominant serotypes of t...
متن کاملSubspecies typing of Vibrio parahaemolyticus by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is one of the most important food-borne pathogens in Taiwan, Japan, and other costal regions. We report on the development of a pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) method for the molecular typing of this pathogen. Genomic DNA was digested with SfiI, and the fragments were resolved on 1% agarose with a contour-clamped homogeneous electric field apparatus set at 190 V ...
