Title: Genome sequence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus: a pathogenic mechanism distinct from that of V cholerae. | Journal: Lancet (London, England). 2003 Mar;361(9359):743-9 | Authors: Makino K, Oshima K, Kurokawa K, Yokoyama K, Uda T, Tagomori K, Iijima Y, Najima M, Nakano M, Yamashita A, Kubota Y, Kimura S, Yasunaga T, Honda T, Shinagawa H, Hattori M, Iida T. | Abstract: Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a gram-negative marine bacterium, is a worldwide cause of food-borne gastroenteritis. V parahaemolyticus strains of a few specific serotypes, probably derived from a common clonal ancestor, have lately caused a pandemic of gastroenteritis. The organism is phylogenetically close to V cholerae, the causative agent of cholera. | See full PubMed entry: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12620739 |
