<p>Pathogenic Characteristics of and Variation in <em>Vibrio parahaemolyticus</em> Isolated from Acute Diarrhoeal Patients in Southeastern China from 2013 to 2017</p>

Abstract

<i>V. parahaemolyticus</i> is still present at a high level in southeastern China. Although the pandemic O3:K6 serotype is predominant, new serotypes continue to emerge, especially the O4:KUT serotype, which exceeded O3:K6 in prevalence in some years. Long-term surveillance is necessary to prevent the outbreak or transmission of this pathogen.
