Genetic Divergence of Vibrio vulnificus Clinical Isolates with Mild to Severe Outcomes

Genetic Divergence of Vibrio vulnificus Clinical Isolates with Mild to Severe Outcomes

ABSTRACT The marine bacterium Vibrio vulnificus infects humans via food or water contamination, leading to serious manifestations, including gastroenteritis, wound infections, and septic shock. Previous studies suggest phylogenetic Lineage 1 isolates with the vcgC allele of the vcg gene cause human...
