Abstract: | Background
Vibrio parahaemolyticusis abundant in the aquatic environment particularly in warmer waters and is the leading cause of seafood borne gastroenteritis
worldwide. Prior to 1995, numerousV. parahaemolyticusserogroups were associated with disease, however, in that year an O3:K6 serogroup emerged in Southeast Asia causing large
outbreaks and rapid hospitalizations. This new highly virulent strain is now globally disseminated. |
