It has been observed that not all strains of <i>Vibrio vulnificus</i> are virulent. Determining the virulence of strains that are frequently present in seafood is of significance for ensuring seafood safety. This study is an attempt to predict the virulence of seafood-borne <i>V. vulnificus</i> isolated along the Mangaluru Coast, India. The isolates tested possessed a <i>vcgC</i> gene sequence with high similarity to that in the clinical strain. Transcriptional analysis of core virulence genes i ...[more]
