Surface hypothermia predicts murine mortality in the intragastric Vibrio vulnificus infection model

Abstract Background The Gram-negative bacterium Vibrio vulnificus can cause severe disease in humans who consume undercooked, contaminated seafood. To study food-borne V. vulnificus disease in the laboratory, mouse virulence studies predominantly use death as the primary experimental endpoint becaus...
