چکیده
Vibrio hollisae is a halophilic species that was recently reclassified as Grimontia hollisae. This organism is known to cause moderate to severe cases of gastroenteritis. We report a case of an individual who suffered a more severe form of this disease, presenting with profound hypotension and acute renal failure, secondary to hypovolemic shock.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of a thermostable direct haemolysin from Grimontia hollisae.
Vibrio hollisae, a halophilic species recently reclassified as Grimontia hollisae, is a causative agent of gastroenteritis and septicaemia. One important pathogenic Vibrio factor, thermostable direct haemolysin (TDH), has been purified and crystallized in two crystal forms using the vapour-diffusion method. The crystals belonged to an orthorhombic space group, with unit-cell parameters a = 104....

Grimontia indica strain AK16(T) sp. nov. is the type strain of G. indica sp. nov. a new species within the genus Grimontia. This strain, whose genome is described here, was isolated from seawater sample collected from southeast coast of Palk Bay, India. G. indica AK16(T) is a Gram-negative, facultative aerobic rod shaped bacterium. There are only two other strains in the genus Grimontia one of ...
متن کاملThe Thermostable Direct Hemolysin from Grimontia hollisae Causes Acute Hepatotoxicity In Vitro and In Vivo
BACKGROUND G. hollisae thermostable direct hemolysin (Gh-TDH) is produced by most strains of G. hollisae. This toxin has been reported to be absorbed in the intestines in humans. Secondary liver injury might be caused by venous return of the toxin through the portal system. We aimed to firstly analyze the in vitro and in vivo hepatotoxicity of Gh-TDH. METHODS Liver cells (primary human non-ca...
متن کاملCloning of a novel collagenase gene from the gram-negative bacterium Grimontia (Vibrio) hollisae 1706B and its efficient expression in Brevibacillus choshinensis.
The collagenase gene was cloned from Grimontia (Vibrio) hollisae 1706B, and its complete nucleotide sequence was determined. Nucleotide sequencing showed that the open reading frame was 2,301 bp in length and encoded an 84-kDa protein of 767 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence contains a putative signal sequence and a zinc metalloprotease consensus sequence, the HEXXH motif. G....
متن کاملPotential antitumor therapeutic application of Grimontia hollisae thermostable direct hemolysin mutants
We report on the preparation of a new type of immunotoxin by conjugation of an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-binding peptide and an R46E mutation of thermostable direct hemolysin from Grimontia hollisae, (Gh-TDH(R) (46E) /EB). The hybrid immunotoxin was purified to homogeneity and showed a single band with slight slower mobility than that of Gh-TDH(R) (46E) . Cytotoxicity assay of Gh-...
