Abstract

The population structure of clinical Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates spreading in China remains undefined. We brought 218 clinical isolates from the pubMLST database originating from different regions of China collected since the year of 1990, analyzed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST), to elucidate the prevalence and genetic diversity of V. parahaemolyticus circulating in Chinese population. The MLST scheme produced 137 sequence types (STs). These STs were clustered into six clonal complexes (CCs), six doublets, and 91 singletons, exhibiting a high level of genetic diversity. However, less diversity was displayed on the peptide level: only 46 different peptide sequence type (pST) were generated, with pST2 (44.0%, 96/218) and pST1 (15.1%, 33/218) the predominant. Further analysis confirmed all the pSTs belong to a single complex founded by pST1, pST2, pST3, and pST4. recA presented the highest degree of nucleotide diversity (0.026) and the largest number of variable sites (176) on the nucleotide level. pyrC was the most diverse locus on the peptide level, possessing the highest percentage of variable sites (9.2%, 15/163). Significant linkage disequilibrium with the alleles was detected when the Standardized Index of Association (I(S) A ) was calculated both for the entire isolates collection (0.7169, P < 0.01) and for the 137 STs (I(S) A = 0.2648, P < 0.01). In conclusion, we provide an overview of prevalence and genetic diversity of clinical V. parahaemolyticus spreading in Chinese population using MLST analysis. The results would offer genetic evidences for uncovering the microevolution relationship of V. parahaemolyticus populations.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 April 2015.
All research outputs
#20,273,512
of 22,805,349 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Microbiology
#22,353
of 24,755 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#224,084
of 264,929 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Microbiology
#300
of 348 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,805,349 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 24,755 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 264,929 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 348 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
