AI Article Synopsis
- A multi-resistant strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus was found in a tropical estuary in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
- Genome sequencing was performed to understand the genetic reasons behind its antibiotic resistance.
- The analysis showed that while this strain is not harmful (non-virulent), it has multiple genes that contribute to its resistance to antibiotics.
Article Abstract
A multi-resistant strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus was isolated from a tropical estuary in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Genome sequencing was conducted to establish the molecular basis of antibiotic resistance in this organism. The genetic content of this strain revealed it to be a non-virulent lineage that nevertheless possesses several antibiotic resistance determinants.
