Vibrio splendidus LGP32

Names Vibrio splendidus LGP32
Accession numbers NC_011744, NC_011753
Background Vibrio species represent a significant portion of the culturable heterotrophic bacteria of oceans, coastal waters and estuaries. Various species of this genus are devastating pathogens for finfish, shellfish and mammals. Others are associated with marine animals where they influence their hosts in important ways, either as coevolved beneficial symbionts or by causing diseases such as coral bleaching. These Vibrio-host interactions appear to play a critical role in the survival and dissemination of these bacteria in the marine environment.V.splendidus LGP32, also known as V.slendidus strain Mel32 is an oyster (Crassostrea gigas) pathogen, which has been responsible for high mortality rates in oyster beds in France since 1991. Vsm, a metalloprotease is a major lethality determinant in this strain. (HAMAP: VIBSL)
