V. Vuddhakul et al., Isolation of a pandemic O3 : K6 clone of a Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain from environmental and clinical sources in Thailand, APPL ENVIR, 66(6), 2000, pp. 2685-2689
Application of an immunomagnetic enrichment method selective for Vibrio par
ahaemolyticus serovar K6 allowed isolation of a strain belonging to the pan
demic O3:K6 clone of V. parahaemolyticus from fresh shellfish not implicate
d in a clinical case in southern Thailand. Arbitrarily primed PCR profiles
of this strain, clinical O3:K6 strains isolated from sporadic diarrhea case
s in the same area, and a standard pandemic O3:K6 strain were indistinguish
able.
