Bacterial community profiles and Vibrio parahaemolyticus abundance in individual oysters and their association with estuarine ecology [PDF]
Oysters naturally harbor the human gastric pathogen Vibrio parahaemolyticus, but the nature of this association is unknown. Because microbial interactions could influence the accumulation of V. parahaemolyticus in oysters, we investigated the composition

Risk of Vibrio Transmission Linked to Consumption and Contact with Water in Benin [PDF]
Background:Vibrio infections have increased in Benin, and this phenomenon is expected to increase due to climate change, increased consumption of contaminated water and the number of people who are immunocompromised.

Vibrio parahaemolyticusT6SS2 effector repertoires
AbstractAll strains of the marine bacteriumVibrio parahaemolyticusharbor a type VI secretion system (T6SS) named T6SS2, suggesting that this system plays an important role in the life cycle of this emerging pathogen. Although T6SS2 was recently shown to play a role in interbacterial competition, its effector repertoire remains unknown.

Investigating the Interactions Between Cyanobacteria and Vibrio parahaemolyticus [PDF]
One well-known pathogen that has been the topic of many recent studies is Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which causes thousands of foodborne illnesses a year, mostly from the ingestion of raw or undercooked oysters. It has been shown cyanobacteria can act as a
