Development of a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (m-PCR) for the detection and identification of virulent and avirulent forms of Vibrio parahaemolyticus Open
This study developed a new multiplex polymerase chain reaction (m-PCR) for rapidly detecting clinically essential strains of V. parahaemolyticus. This enables the detection of total and potentially virulent strains. The m-PCR was developed…

Survey of clinical and environmental Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates for putative virulence factors and cytotoxicity of extracellular products to a CHO-K1 cell line Open
The halophilic bacterium Vibrio parahaemolyticus is widely distributed as a natural inhabitant of marine and estuarine environments throughout the world. Many strains are avirulent in humans, but virulent strains are the causative agent of…

Microbial Diseases of Marine Organisms Open
This book, entitled “Microbial Diseases of Marine Organisms”, was conceived to raise awareness of threats to the sustainability of marine environments that we are increasingly facing today and are caused by various human activities. Each m…

Geographic distribution at subspecies resolution level: closely related <i>Rhodopirellula</i> species in European coastal sediments Open
Members of the marine genus Rhodopirellula are attached living bacteria and studies based on cultured Rhodopirellula strains suggested that three closely related species R. baltica, ‘R. europaea’ and ‘R. islandica’ have a limited geographi…

Allelochemicals Produced by Brown Macroalgae of the Lobophora Genus Are Active against Coral Larvae and Associated Bacteria, Supporting Pathogenic Shifts to Vibrio Dominance Open
Pervasive environmental stressors on coral reefs are attributed with shifting the competitive balance in favor of alternative dominants, such as macroalgae. Previous studies have demonstrated that macroalgae compete with corals via a numbe…
