Article Synopsis
- Vibrio vulnificus is an aquatic bacterium that poses a significant health risk to humans and is classified into three biotypes, with the recently identified biotype 3 being specific to Israel.
- Researchers conducted genome-wide SNP genotyping on 254 V. vulnificus isolates from various locations over 30 years, using a custom array based on 570 SNPs to analyze its genetic structure.
- The analysis revealed that biotype 3 shares a common ancestor with a subgroup from Israel, clade B, and indicates that this bacterium is evolving continuously, highlighting the potential for new pathogenic strains to emerge.
