Vibrio parahaemolyticus, the causative agent of seafood-associated gastroenteritis, undergoes wrinkly and smooth colony switching on the plate. The wrinkly spreader grew faster, had stronger motility and biofilm capacity when compared with the smooth one. However, whether the two phenotypes differ in their virulence still needs to be further investigated. In this study, the data showed that the smooth spreader...
