Objective: To analyze the structural characteristics of tdh gene and its adjacent loci of Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates from seafoods.
Methods: Long distance PCR and genome walking were used to amplify the DNA sequences flanking the tdh gene, and the sequences were analyzed by blastn against the NCBI database.
Results: The genetic structure of tdh-adjacent loci (VPA1312-VPA1327) from isolate ZS34 was similar to that of the reference strain RIMD2210633, with the nucleotide identity of 98.3%. The tdh gene of isolates FJ14 and WZ64 was located in the loci different from the reference strain and ZS34, and showed high nucleotide similarity to tdh3 gene. In the genome of isolate FJ14, tdh was 15kb away from the trh- ure cluster, with IS-like elements and transposase genes inserted therein. Isolate WZ64 lacked trh gene, but also harbored IS-like elements upstream of tdh.
Conclusion: The tdh-adjacent loci of V. parahaemolyticus seafood isolates exhibit high diversity, an additional evidence of lateral gene transfer in this particular species.

Despite being the most relevant and critical option for managing Chagas disease, pharmacological therapy is currently limited by the availability of only two drugs, benznidazole and nifurtimox. Their effectiveness is further restricted in the chronic phase of the infection, as they induce severe side effects and require prolonged treatment. Additionally, the use of these drugs can lead to the emergence of substantial resistance problems, compounded by the potential natural resistance of some parasite isolates.

, a significant cause of gastroenteritis and a growing public health concern, has become increasingly prevalent owing to the rise in ocean temperatures driven by climate change. This study aimed to characterize the genetic diversity, pathogenic potential, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles of strains isolated from the southern coastal region of Korea. Using whole genome sequencing (WGS) and advanced bioinformatics tools, we identified novel sequence types through multilocus sequence typing and serotyped isolates using the VPsero database.

There has been an increase in foodborne vibriosis outbreaks globally, with Vibrio parahaemolyticus emerging as a foodborne issue in temperate commercial shellfish growing regions, including southern Australia. The food safety concerns associated with these microorganisms have led to the need for specific guidance on potential risk management strategies for their control. This is the first Australian multi-seasonal survey of V.

The Pearl River Delta (PRD) region in southern China is a densely populated area and a hotspot for Vibrio parahaemolyticus infections. However, systematic research on this pathogen, particularly comparing clinical and environmental strains, remains limited. This study analyzed the molecular epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance of 200 V.
