Vibrio mimicus is a zoonotic pathogen that is widely distributed in aquatic habitats/environments (marine coastal water, estuaries, etc). The development of biocontrol agents for V. mimicus is imperative for the prevention and control of aquatic animal diseases and human food-borne infections. In this study, a broad-spectrum bacteriophage Vmp-1 was isolated from dealt aquatic product in a local market by double-layer agar plate method using V. mimicus CICC21613 as the host bacteria. Results indicated that Vmp-1, which belongs to the family Podoviridae, showed good pH tolerance (pH 3.0-12.0) and thermal stability (30-50 °C). The optimal multiplicity of infection (MOI) of Vmp-1 was 0.001 for a 20-min incubation and 100-min lysis period. Vmp-1 effectively controlled V. mimicus CICC21613 in LBS model (MOI = 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1) within 8 h. The full length of the Vmp-1 genome was 43,312 bp, with average GC content of 49.5%, and a total of 44 protein-coding regions. This study provides a novel phage strain that has the highest homology with vB_VpP_HA5 (GenBank: OK585159.1, 95.96%) for the development of biocontrol agents for V. mimicus.

In this study, a lytic phage, named PG216, was obtained from seawater collected in Qingdao, using Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain G299 as its host. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that phage PG216 has an icosahedral head with a diameter of 100 ± 6.7 nm and a contractible tail with a length of 126 ± 6.

Article Synopsis
- - A new retron named retron-Vmi1 was discovered in Vibrio mimicus, which plays a key role in producing a small satellite DNA-RNA complex (msDNA) through the bacterial reverse transcriptase (RT) gene.
- - The genetic structure of retron-Vmi1 is similar to another retron found in Salmonella, indicating related evolutionary pathways between these organisms.
- - Evidence shows that retrons can be transferred between species, as retron-Vmi1 was found inserted in the dusA gene in a manner akin to a similar retron in V. parahaemolyticus, suggesting a complex evolutionary relationship among these bacteria.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are potential antibacterial agents against pathogenic bacteria in the field of public health, yet their widespread use is limited by dispersibility and biocompatibility. In a previous study, highly dispersible AgNPs were fabricated using a polysaccharide-protein complex (PSP) obtained from the viscera . In this study, the antibacterial activity of PSP-AgNPs against pathogenic and its cytotoxicity for human hepatocytes (LO2) was evaluated.

We reviewed and analyzed the existing data on vibriosis in Southeast Asia to better understand its burden and prevalent causal agents. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE for studies published between January 2000 and April 2024. A random-effects meta-analysis was used to estimate the pooled isolation rate of non-cholera Vibrio species.

Article Synopsis
- A recent surge in vibriosis linked to global warming highlights a new species, Vibrio metoecus, which has not previously been associated with human septicemia deaths.
- A blood isolate from a patient who died from secondary septicemia was identified through advanced genome sequencing techniques after traditional methods failed.
- The study found that V. metoecus can survive in human serum and carries unique genetic traits related to surface polysaccharide modification, emphasizing the need to monitor emerging pathogens as climate change may enhance their risks.
