pandemic serovars (o3:k6 and o4:k68) of vibrio parahaemolyticus associated with diarrhea in mozambique: spread of the pandemic into the african continent.forty-two episodes of vibrio parahaemolyticus infections were detected in beira, mozambique, from january to may 2004. the majority of the isolates (81%) belonged to the pandemic serovars (o3:k6 and o4:k68) of v. parahaemolyticus. the pandemic serovars were positive by group-specific pcr (gs-pcr) and a pcr specific for open reading frame orf8 (orf8-pcr), which are molecular markers of the pandemic clone, and were positive for tdh but negative for trh. the remaining 19% of the strains also posses ...200515956363
characteristics of a pandemic clone of o3 : k6 and o4 : k68 vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated in beira, mozambique.the genetic characteristics of vibrio parahaemolyticus strains isolated in 2004 and 2005 in mozambique were assessed in this study to determine whether the pandemic clone of v. parahaemolyticus o3 : k6 and o4 : k68 serotypes has spread to mozambique. fifty-eight v. parahaemolyticus strains isolated from hospitalized diarrhoea patients in beira, mozambique, were serotyped for o : k antigens and genotyped for toxr, tdh and trh genes. a group-specific pcr, a pcr that detects the presence of orf8 of ...200819018020
