Fitness and transcriptomic analysis of pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus in seawater at different shellfish harvesting temperatures.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Given the involvement of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vp) in a wide range of seafood outbreaks, a systematical characterization of Vp fitness and transcriptomic changes at temperatures of critical importance for seafood production and storage is needed. In this study, one of each virulent Vp strain (tdh+ and trh+) was tested. While no difference in survival behavior of the two virulent strains was observed at 10°C, the tdh+ strain had a faster growth rate than the trh+ strain at 30°C. Transcriptomic analysis showed that a significantly higher number of genes were upregulated at 30°C than at 10°C. The majority of differentially expressed genes of Vp at 30°C were annotated to functional categories supporting cellul
