Vibrio vulnificus (V. vulnificus) is a Gram-negative, halophilic bacillus known for causing severe infections such as gastroenteritis, necrotizing fasciitis, and septic shock, with mortality rates exceeding 50% in high-risk individuals. Transmission occurs primarily through the consumption of contaminated seafood, exposure open wounds to infected water, or, rare cases, insect bites. The bacterium thrives warm, brackish waters high salinity levels, its prevalence rising due effects climate change, including warming ocean temperatures expanding coastal habitats. High-risk populations include individuals underlying conditions chronic liver disease, diabetes, or immunosuppression, which heighten susceptibility outcomes. pathogenicity V. mediated by an array virulence factors, hemolysins, proteases, capsular polysaccharides, well mechanisms facilitating iron acquisition immune system evasion. Clinical manifestations range from localized gastrointestinal symptoms life-threatening systemic septicemia. Rare but complications, pneumonia meningitis, have also been reported. Treatment typically involves use doxycycline combination third-generation cephalosporins, although emergence multidrug-resistant strains escalating concern. Alternative therapeutic approaches under investigation natural compounds resveratrol application antimicrobial blue light. For infections, prompt aggressive surgical intervention remains essential improving patient As global continue rise, understanding epidemiology developing innovative strategies are critical mitigating growing public health impact.

Bacteria in the genus Vibrio, including at least 152 species, thrive marine and estuarine environments are frequently detected aquatic products worldwide. Of these, 12 species have been implicated human infectious diseases, such as life-threatening pandemic cholera, acute gastroenteritis, severe sepsis. Nevertheless, molecular mechanisms of their pathogenesis not fully uncovered yet. Prophages found prevalent Vibrio spp. genomes, carrying a number genes with various functions. In this review, we deciphered evolutionary relationship between prophages highlighted impact on bacterial pathogenicity, environmental fitness, genome evolution, based 149 newly discovered intact located genomes 82 spp., which searched collected from Web Science Core Collection most recent 5 years. The effects resistance to superinfection, strain competition, regulation were also discussed. This review underscored crucial roles shaping implications for food safety public health.

Edwardsiella tarda (E. tarda) and Vibrio harveyi (V. harveyi), common pathogenic bacteria in fish, contribute to elevated mortality rates within fish populations. Chlorination, a widely utilized disinfection method, can effectively manage these microorganisms. The present research examined the impact of chlorination inactivation two microorganisms, with varying pH, chlorine doses, natural organic matter (NOM) concentrations, temperatures. Microbial during seawater is strongly influenced by formation chlorine-produced oxidants (CPOs), whose speciation was determined concentrations bromide ions ammonium ions. At pH 7.1, mixed CPOs (mainly HOBr/NHxBry/NHBrCl) were formed, while NH2Cl dominant species at 8.2. higher efficacies 7.1 compared those 8.2 explained stronger bactericidal activities HOBr than NH2Cl. Meanwhile, microbial enhanced increasing dose temperature, but it inhibited NOM concentration. For 2 log reduction E.

These rose 0.3644 0.3968 when increased Ct this study provide essential guidelines for safeguarding against contaminants seawater, thus proposing effective protocols aquaculture.
