Vibrio alginolyticus strain 10N.261.52.A3

Vibrio alginolyticus strain 10N.261.52.A3 is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacterium predominantly found in marine environments. This strain exhibits mobility through the presence of flagella, which aids in its motility within aquatic habitats. The optimal growth temperature for strain 10N.261.52.A3 is around 30°C, aligning with its marine habitat. This strain is known to infect various hosts, including Homo sapiens (humans), Sparus aurata (European sea bass), Mollusca, and Penaeus vannamei (Pacific white shrimp). It is associated with several health effects, notably septicaemia, vibriosis, gastroenteritis, and skin and muscle necrosis in humans. In aquaculture, it poses a significant threat, causing diseases in farmed shrimp, fish, and mollusks, which can have substantial economic implications. Strain 10N.261.52.A3 is characterized by a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic structure that may contribute to its adaptability and efficiency in various marine environments. Its pathogenic potential in both humans and aquatic species highlights the interconnection between marine ecosystems and human health. The ability of this strain to thrive in diverse hosts underscores the importance of monitoring Vibrio species in marine settings, particularly in relation to aquaculture practices and public health.
