| comparison of the pathogenic potentials of environmental and clinical vibrio parahaemolyticus strains indicates a role for temperature regulation in virulence. | although the presence of pathogenic vibrio spp. in estuarine environments of northern new england has been known for some time (c. h. bartley and l. w. slanetz, appl. microbiol. 21: 965-966, 1971, and k. r. o'neil, s. h. jones, and d. j. grimes, fems microbiol. lett. 60:163-167, 1990), their virulence and the relative threat they may pose to human health has yet to be evaluated. in this study, the virulence potential of 33 vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates collected from the great bay estuary of ... | 2010 | 20889774 |
