Abstract excerpt
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a halophilic foodborne pathogenic bacterium that causes gastroenteritis; it has become an issue of global concern since the emergence and spread of pandemic O3:K6 strains. This study evaluated the role of Vibrio pathogenicity island (VPaI)-associated fragments in the genetic variation and grouping of this pathogen. Distribution of some VPaI fragments and flanking fragments (VPaI-1,...
