Draft genome sequence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus SNUVpS-1 isolated from Korean seafood

Abstract

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the leading cause of food-borne diseases, and several pathogenic strains cause global gastroenteritis outbreaks. Here, we report a draft genome sequence of V. parahaemolyticus SNUVpS-1, which was isolated from seafood in a fishery market in the Republic of Korea and contained TL, toxR, and toxRSold genes. The current draft genome sequence will contribute to the effort to monitor the spread of V. parahaemolyticus seafood isolates and clinical isolates. © 2013 Jun et al.
