Consuming raw or undercooked mussels can lead to gastroenteritis and septicemia due Vibrio contamination. This study analyzed the prevalence, density, species diversity, molecular traits of spp. in 48 fresh wild (FRMs) ready-to-eat stuffed (RTE-SMs) through genome analysis, assessing health risks. The results showed prevalence rates 12.5% FRMs 4.2% RTE-SMs, with V. alginolyticus as most common (46.7%). It was determined that seasonal distribution samples higher summer months. sizes ranged from approximately 3.9 6.1 Mb, GC contents varying between 41.9% 50.4%. A total 22 virulence factor (VF) classes up six antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes were detected different species. presence nine biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), 27 prophage regions, eight CRISPR/Cas systems 15 strains provides information about their potential pathogenicity, survival strategies, adaptation habitats. Overall, this a comprehensive understanding genomic diversity isolated FRM RTE-SM samples, shedding light on toxicity mechanisms Vibrio-induced gastroenteritis.
