Article Abstract
Vibrio mimicus caused a seafood-associated outbreak in Florida, USA, in which 4 of 6 case-patients were hospitalized; 1 required intensive care for severe diarrhea. Strains were ctx-negative but carried genes for other virulence determinants (hemolysin, proteases, and types I-IV and VI secretion systems). Cholera toxin-negative bacterial strains can cause cholera-like disease.

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and virulence characteristics of () isolated from olive flounder () and rockfish () sashimi samples sold in South Korea from 2021 to 2022. A total of 500 fish samples were analyzed, from which 17 isolates were obtained. Antibiotic susceptibility testing using the minimum inhibitory concentration method revealed that 58.

Article Synopsis
- Vibrio parahaemolyticus is identified as the main cause of seafood-related infections globally, with this study analyzing 128 strains collected in Huzhou, China, revealing 73 different serotypes and high genetic diversity among environmental isolates.
- The research found that environmental strains possess a large number of virulence genes (206 total), with four strains having genes linked to increased pathogenicity, while environmental isolates also show a higher number of antibiotic resistance genes (up to 104) compared to clinical strains (30).
- The study concludes that while clinical isolates are less diverse, primarily focusing on three serotypes, some exhibit a closer genetic relationship to environmental strains, indicating ongoing evolution and distribution

Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP), a ubiquitous secondary messenger in bacteria, affects multiple bacterial behaviors including motility and biofilm formation. c-di-GMP is synthesized by diguanylate cyclase harboring a GGDEF domain and degraded by phosphodiesterase harboring an either EAL or HD-GYP domain. Vibrio parahaemolyticus, the leading cause of seafood-associated gastroenteritis, harbors more than 60 genes involved in c-di-GMP metabolism.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Vibrionaceae family in retail seafood products available in the Qidong market during the summer of 2023 and to characterize Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates, given that this bacterium is the leading cause of seafood-associated food poisoning. We successfully isolated a total of 240 Vibrionaceae strains from a pool of 718 seafood samples. The breakdown of the isolates included 146 Photobacterium damselae, 59 V.

is a threat to human health and one of the leading bacterial causes of seafood-borne infection worldwide. This pathogen is autochtonous in the marine environment and is able to acquire antimicrobial resistance (AMR) mechanisms, which is a global concern. However, the emergence of AMR strains in seafood is still understudied, as interpretation criteria for this species for antimicrobial susceptibility tests are limited in the literature.
