Vibrio vulnificus is an etiologic agent for severe human infection
acquired through wounds or contaminated seafood. This is a lactose-fermenting,
halophilic, Gram-negative, opportunistic pathogen, is found in estuarine
environments and is associated with various marine species such as plankton,
shellfish (Oysters, Clams, and Crabs), and finfish (Ref.1). V.
vulnificus belong to the Gamma-group of Proteobacteria, and it shares
morphological and biochemical characteristics with other human Vibrio
pathogens, including Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio
parahaemolyticus. It is divided into three biotypes according to its
different biochemical and biological properties. V. vulnificus CMCP6 is
a new strain of this bacterium, classified as Biotype-3 and is the sole cause of
the outbreak of invasive V. vulnificus infection that occurred in
Israel in people handling [...] |
