Abstract
The present study used pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) characterization to examine the intraspecies variability and genetic relationships among environmental isolates of Vibrio parahaemolyticus from different European countries. This is first study performed on environmental V. parahaemolyticus that included more than one European country.Keywords
