Genome-wide expanding of genetic evolution and potential pathogenicity in Vibrio alginolyticus.

ABSTRACT: Vibrio alginolyticus, an emergent species of Vibrio genus, exists in aquatic and marine environments. It has undergone genetic diversification, but its detailed genomic diversity is still unclear. Here, we performed a multi-dimensional comparative genomic analysis to explore the population phylogeny, virulence-related genes and potential drug resistance genes of 184 V. alginolyticus isolates. Although genetic diversity is complex, we analysed the population structure using three sub-datasets, including the subdivision for three lineages into sublineages and the distribution of strains in the marine ecological niche. Accessory genes, most of which reclassified V. alginolyticus genomes as different but with relatively close affinities, were nonuniformly distribute
