Genome Sequence of the Pathogenic Bacterium Vibrio vulnificus Biotype 3
We report the first genome sequence of the pathogenic Vibrio vulnificus biotype 3. This draft genome sequence of the environmental strain VVyb1(BT3), isolated in Israel, provides a representation of this newly emerged clonal group, which reveals higher similarity to the clinical strains of biotype 1 than to the environmental ones.
متن کاملFirst isolation and identification of Vibrio vulnificus (biotype 2) from cultured beluga, Huso huso in Iran
By decreasing of sturgeon stocks in the Caspian Sea, the culture of different sturgeon species especially Huso huso was increased in Iran. Under stress conditions sturgeon can easily be infected by several opportunistic pathogens. In June 2011, mortality happened in 25-28°C water temperature, in one of the most important cultured sturgeon farms in Mazandaran province in the north of Iran. The m...
متن کاملUtilization of hemin and hemoglobin by Vibrio vulnificus biotype 2.
The eel pathogen Vibrio vulnificus biotype 2 is able to use hemoglobin (Hb) and hemin (Hm) to reverse iron limitation. In this stud, the adjuvant effect of both compounds on eel pathogenicity has been evaluated and confirmed. Further, we have studied the heme-iron acquisition mechanism displayed by this bacterium. Whole cells were capable of binding Hb and Hm, independently of (i) iron levels i...
متن کاملGenome-Wide SNP-Genotyping Array to Study the Evolution of the Human Pathogen Vibrio vulnificus Biotype 3
Vibrio vulnificus is an aquatic bacterium and an important human pathogen. Strains of V. vulnificus are classified into three different biotypes. The newly emerged biotype 3 has been found to be clonal and restricted to Israel. In the family Vibrionaceae, horizontal gene transfer is the main mechanism responsible for the emergence of new pathogen groups. To better understand the evolution of th...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of Fish Pathogenic Vibrio vulnificus Biotype 2
Vibrio vulnificus is a marine pathogen capable of causing severe soft tissue infections and septicemia in humans. V. vulnificus biotype 2 is the etiological agent of fish vibriosis. We describe here the first draft genome sequence of V. vulnificus biotype 2, strain ES-7601, isolated from an infected eel in Japan.
