چکیده
We report the first genome sequence of the pathogenic Vibrio vulnificus biotype 3. This draft genome sequence of the environmental strain VVyb1(BT3), isolated in Israel, provides a representation of this newly emerged clonal group, which reveals higher similarity to the clinical strains of biotype 1 than to the environmental ones.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Pathogenic Bacterium Vibrio vulnificus V252 Biotype 1, Isolated in Israel
We report the genome sequence of the pathogenic Vibrio vulnificus biotype 1 clade B, which is suggested to have a common ancestor with biotype 3. This draft genome of the clinical strain V252, isolated in Israel, represents the clonal clade B group that contains both clinical and environmental strains.
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Fish Pathogenic Vibrio vulnificus Biotype 2
Vibrio vulnificus is a marine pathogen capable of causing severe soft tissue infections and septicemia in humans. V. vulnificus biotype 2 is the etiological agent of fish vibriosis. We describe here the first draft genome sequence of V. vulnificus biotype 2, strain ES-7601, isolated from an infected eel in Japan.
متن کاملInsight into the evolution of Vibrio vulnificus biotype 3's genome
Vibrio vulnificus is an aquatic bacterium and an important human pathogen. Strains of V. vulnificus are biochemically classified into three biotypes. The newly emerged biotype 3 appears to be rather clonal and geographically restricted to Israel, where it caused an outbreak of wound infections and bacteremia. To understand the evolution of the bacterium's genome, we sequenced and analyzed the g...
متن کاملGenome-Wide SNP-Genotyping Array to Study the Evolution of the Human Pathogen Vibrio vulnificus Biotype 3
Vibrio vulnificus is an aquatic bacterium and an important human pathogen. Strains of V. vulnificus are classified into three different biotypes. The newly emerged biotype 3 has been found to be clonal and restricted to Israel. In the family Vibrionaceae, horizontal gene transfer is the main mechanism responsible for the emergence of new pathogen groups. To better understand the evolution of th...
