| Abstract | Vibrio vulnificus, a gram-negative pathogenic bacterium, transmitted via undercooked seafood or contaminated seawater, causes septicemia and wound infections. In this study, we analyzed 15 clinical and 11 environmental isolates. In total, 20 sequence types (STs), including eight novel STs, were identified. Antibiotic resistance gene analysis commonly detected the cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) in both the clinical and environmental isolates. Interestingly, clinical and environmental isolates were non-susceptible to third-generation cephalosporins, such as ceftazidime and cefotaxime, complicating the treatment of V. vulnificus infection. Multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) index ranged from 0.1 to 0.5, with clinical isolates showing a higher mean MAR index than the environmental isolates, indicating their broader spectrum of resistance. Notable, no quantitative (124.3 vs. 126.5) and qualitative (adherence, antiphagocytosis, and chemotaxis/motility) differences in virulence factors were observed between the environmental and clinical strains. The molecular characteristics identified in this study provide insights into the virulence of V. vulnificus strains in South Korea, highlighting the need for continuous surveillance of antibiotic resistance in emerging V. vulnificus strains. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
