| a filamentous phage associated with recent pandemic vibrio parahaemolyticus o3:k6 strains. | a specific serotype, o3:k6, of vibrio parahaemolyticus has recently been causing epidemics of gastroenteritis in southeast asia, japan, and north america. to examine whether the new o3:k6 strains possess characteristics that may exacerbate outbreaks, we compared v. parahaemolyticus o3:k6 strains with non-o3:k6 strains using strains isolated from individuals with traveler's diarrhea at kansai airport quarantine station, osaka, japan. all 24 o3:k6 strains possessed a common plasmid, po3k6 (dna siz ... | 2000 | 10834969 |
