Intraspecific Diversity and Pathogenicity of Isolates from an Emetic Illness.

This study describes an emetic food-borne intoxication associated with a group species and the characterization of the bacterial isolates from the incident in aspects of molecular tying, genetic factors, cytotoxicity, and pathogenic mechanisms relating to emetic illness. Through the polyphasic identification approach, all seven isolates obtained from food and clinical samples were identified as . According to multilocus sequence typing (MLST) analysis, intraspecific diversity was found within the isolates.
