Abstract
Vibrio alginolyticus is a Gram-negative halophilic bacterium and has been recognized as an opportunistic pathogen in both humans and marine animals. It is the causative agent of food-borne diseases, such as gastroenteritis, and it invades through wounds in predisposed individuals. In this study, we present the completed genome of V. alginolyticus ATCC 17749T through high-throughput sequencing.
Highlights
Vibrio species are widely distributed in aquatic environments [1]
V. alginolyticus is most commonly associated with wound infections, otitis media, and otitis externa [4, 5], it is increasingly recognized as an important intestinal pathogen in humans
V. alginolyticus strain ATCC 17749T was isolated from spoiled horse mackerel, which caused food poisoning; the strain was kindly provided by the Marine Culture Collection of China (Xiamen, Fujian Province, China)
Summary
Vibrio species are widely distributed in aquatic environments [1]. Vibrio alginolyticus is a Gram-negative halophilic bacterium with worldwide distribution [2]. Vibrio species are widely distributed in aquatic environments [1]. Vibrio alginolyticus is a Gram-negative halophilic bacterium with worldwide distribution [2]. On the coast of southern China, V. alginolyticus is the dominant Vibrio species found both in seawater and in farmed marine animals [1, 3].
