Vibrio vulnificus: From Oyster Colonist to Human Pathogen
Introduction Vibrio vulnificus is a Gram-negative halophilic bacterium commonly found in warm coastal waters. The bacterium can cause severe gastroenteritis from consumption of raw seafood as well as wound infections and necrotizing fasciitis, with mortality rates for sepsis and wound infection at 50% and 17%, respectively [1]. Although infections are rare, V. vulnificus is responsible for the ...
متن کاملOyster processing strategies for eliminating Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus from New Hampshire oysters
Introduction Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vp) and Vibrio vulnificus (Vv) are human pathogens commonly associated with bivalve shellfish. These Vibrios cause infections to humans when patients consume raw or undercooked shellfish or when it’s in free-living form in estuarine environments. There are three clinical manifestations of disease caused by Vp and Vv; most common for Vp is gastroenteritis an...
متن کاملVibrio vulnificus (lactose-positive vibrio) and Vibrio parahaemolyticus differ in their susceptibilities to human serum.
Eleven Vibrio vulnificus (lactose-positive vibrio) strains were less susceptible to the bactericidal activity of normal human serum or serum treated with magnesium-ethyleneglycol-bis (beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid than were six Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains.
متن کاملIsolation of Vibrio vulnificus from Seawater and Emerging Vibrio vulnificus Septicemia on Jeju Island
Vibrio vulnificus is an opportunistic human pathogen, transmitted from seawater, raw oyster, and shellfish and responsible for severe septicemia. We studied V. vulnificus from surface seawater around Jeju Island between 2010 and 2011. In 2010, V. vulnificus was isolated and V. vulnificus septicemia was reported. Surface seawater temperature is an important factor for growth of V. vulnificus, an...
متن کاملBiochemical characterization of a catalase from Vibrio vulnificus, a pathogen that causes gastroenteritis.
Vibrio vulnificus is a virulent human pathogen causing gastroenteritis and possibly life threatening septicemia in patients. Most V. vulnificus are catalase positive and can deactivate peroxides, thus allowing them to survive within the host. In the study presented here, a catalase from V. vulnificus (CAT-Vv) was purified to homogeneity after expression in Escherichia coli. The kinetics and fun...
