Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio cholerae are ubiquitous to estuarine and marine environments. Thes two species found in Mediterranean coastal systems can induce infection in humans. Environmental isolates of V. cholerae (n = 109) and V. parahaemotycius (n = 89) sampled at different dates, stations and water salinities were investigated for virulence genes and by a mutilocus sequence-based analysis (MLSA). V. cholerae isolate were all ctxA negative and only one isolate of V. parahaemolyticus displayed trh2 gene. Most Sequence Types (ST) corresponded to uique ST isolated at one date or one station. Frequent recombination events were detected among different pathogenic species, V. parahaemotyticus, V. cholerae, Vibrio mimicus, and Vibrio metoecus.... |

V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus and V. cholerae non-O1/non-O139 are present in coastal lagoons of Southern France. In these Mediterranean regions, the rivers have long low flow periods followed by short-duration or flash floods during and after heavy intense rainstorms, particularly at the end of the summer and in autumn. These floods bring large volumes of freshwater into the lagoons, reducing their salinity. Water temperatures recorded during sampling (15°C to 24°C) were favorable for presence and multiplication of vibrios. In autumn 2011, before heavy rainfalls and flash floods, salinities ranged from 31.4‰ to 36.1‰ and concentrations of V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus, and V. cholerae varied from 0 to 1.5 X 103 MPN (Most Probable Number)/L, 0.7... |
