What are the virulence factors of Vibrio parahaemolyticus?
Vibrio parahaemolyticus (V. parahaemolyticus) is a curved, rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacterial species found in the sea and in estuaries which, when ingested, may cause gastrointestinal illness in humans. V. parahaemolyticus is oxidase positive, facultatively aerobic, and does not form spores.
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative, halophilic bacterium and opportunistic pathogen of humans and shrimp. Investigating the mechanisms of V. parahaemolyticus infection and the multifarious virulence factors it employs requires procedures for bacterial culture, genetic manipulation, and analysis of virulence phenotypes.

Characteristics and Identification. Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a straight or singularly curved rod with a single polar flagellum. Vibrio parahaemolyticus grows in a variety of salt concentrations and temperatures, but 20–25 parts per thousand (ppt) salt and 30–35 °C are optimum growth conditions.
Dec 10, 2014 · Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative halophilic bacterium that is found in estuarine, marine and coastal environments. V. parahaemolyticus is the leading causal agent of human acute gastroenteritis following the consumption of raw, undercooked, or mishandled marine products.
Feb 6, 2007 · Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a gram-negative enteropathogenic marine Vibrio that is capable of causing mild gastroenteritis to severe debilitating dysentery. Infections of the G.I. tract are usually due to consumption of raw shellfish.
