Abstract
Pandemic<i>Vibrio parahaemolyticus</i>O3:K6 Spread, France
Highlights
To the Editor: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a halophilic bacterium that occurs naturally in aquatic environments worldwide
We carried out molecular typing by various methods, including ribotyping, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
Two pandemic strains of the new O3:K6 clone and 1 strain of the old O3:K6 clone were included as external controls
Summary
To the Editor: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a halophilic bacterium that occurs naturally in aquatic environments worldwide. We analyzed 13 clinical isolates of V. parahaemolyticus collected in France from 1997 to 2004 and sent to the National Reference Center (Table). Two pandemic strains of the new O3:K6 clone and 1 strain of the old O3:K6 clone were included as external controls.
