Draft Genomes of 75 Isolates from Retail Mollusks Collected in Canada between 2014 and 2018.

spp. isolated from fresh retail mollusk samples were selected for sequencing based on their antimicrobial resistance burden. The genomes include those for Vibrio alginolyticus ( = 48), ( = 15), V.

Draft Genomes of 83 Isolates from Fresh Canadian Mollusks.

A subset of spp. isolated from fresh Canadian mollusks (2014 to 2018) were selected for sequencing based on antimicrobial resistance profiles. The resulting draft genomes include 38 Vibrio alginolyticus, 32 V.

Trend and Pattern of Antimicrobial Resistance in Molluscan Vibrio Species Sourced to Canadian Estuaries.

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in foodborne bacteria is a growing concern worldwide. AMR surveillance is a key element in understanding the implications resulting from the use of antibiotics for therapeutic as well as prophylactic needs. The emergence and spread of AMR in foodborne human pathogens are indirect health hazards.

Diversity and Dynamics of the Canadian Coastal Vibrio Community: an Emerging Trend Detected in the Temperate Regions.

species are indigenous to the marine and estuarine environments around the world and are the leading cause of water- and seafood-borne illnesses due to conditions favoring the transmission and growth of the species. Horizontal gene transfer, recombination, and mutation enable spp. to adapt rapidly to environmental challenges from biotic and abiotic parameters, including temperature, salinity, and nutrient status of the coastal waters.

Detection, Enumeration, and Isolation of and from Seafood: Development of a Multidisciplinary Protocol.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus are bacterial foodborne pathogens that can cause illnesses in humans after ingestion or exposure to contaminated seafood or coastal waters. A procedure that combines microbiological, biochemical, and molecular methods was designed and optimized for the detection, enumeration, isolation, and characterization of these clinically significant Vibrio spp.

Emerging Seafood Preservation Techniques to Extend Freshness and Minimize Vibrio Contamination.

Globally, the popularity of seafood consumption is increasing exponentially. To meet the demands of a growing market, the seafood industry has increasingly been innovating ways to keep their products fresh and safe while increasing production. Marine environments harbor several species of indigenous microorganisms, some of which, including Vibrio spp.

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Canadian clinical isolates of Vibrio parahaemolyticus collected from 2000 to 2009.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the leading bacterial cause of food-borne illness due to the consumption of contaminated seafood. The aim of the present study was to determine the population of its subtypes and establish a better understanding of the various types of V. parahaemolyticus strains that are causing human illness in Canada.
