Abstract excerpt
Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) was used to examine the clonal relationship and genetic diversity of 71 Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates from clinical and seafood-related sources in southeastern Chinese coast between 2002 and 2009. The tested isolates fell into 61 sequence types (STs). Of 17 clinical isolates, 7 belonged to ST3 of the pandemic clonal complex 3, with 3 strains isolated in 2002. Although there...
