ABSTRACT Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a bacterial pathogen that can cause illness after the consumption or handling of contaminated seafood. The primary virulence factors associated with V. are thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH) and Tdh-related (TRH). However, clinical strains lacking tdh trh have recently been isolated, these isolates poorly understood. To help understand emergence - -negative isolates, genomic approach was used to comprehensively compare 4 16 environmental 34 positive for ,...
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis following ingestion contaminated seafood. This report presents the draft genome sequences four clinical strains V. isolated in Canada. All lack traditional pathogenic markers and possess uniquely individual characteristics identified using other typing criteria.
