  1. Deletion of the waaf gene affects O antigen synthesis and pathogenicity in Vibrio parahaemolyticus from shellfish

    • Food Science and Human Wellness

    • ibrio parahaemolyticus is the main cause of foodborne gastroenteritis, which is widely distributed in shellfish and other seafood. Most V. parahaemolyticus are nonpathogenic, and only a few types, such as serotype O3:K6, are pathogenic, which is also the most prevalent strain in Asia. However, the relationship between this serotype and pathogenicity has yet to be established. The waaf gene is located in the O antigen synthesis gene cluster.
