The tdh gene of Vibrio parahaemolyticus which encodes the thermostable direct hemolysin has been found in some strains of other Vibrio species. Analysis of seven tdh genes cloned from V. parahaemolyticus, Vibrio mimicus, and non-O1 Vibrio cholerae revealed that all tdh genes were flanked by insertion sequence-like elements (collectively named ISVs) or related sequences derived from genetic rearrangement of ISVs. The ISVs possessed 18-bp terminal inverted repeats highly homologous to those of IS9 ...[more]
