The genus Vibrio contains 130 confirmed species, of which a dozen have been demonstrated to cause infections in humans. As vibrios are natural inhabitants of aquatic environments, infections are usually associated with wound exposure to seawater or consumption of raw seafood. As estimated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,...

Evolution of virulence traits from adaptation to environmental niches other than the host is probably a common feature of marine microbial pathogens, whose knowledge might be crucial to understand their emergence and pathogenetic potential. Here, we report genome sequence analysis of a novel marine bacterial species, Vibrio bathopelagicus sp....
