INVESTIGATION OF PERKINSUS SPP. IN AQUACULTURED HARD CLAMS (MERCENARIA MERCENARIA) FROM THE FLORIDA GULF COAST (2007)

AYANA MCCOY, SHIRLEY M. BAKER, ANITA C. WRIGHT

Aquacultured hard clams (Mercenaria mercenaria) from Florida were examined for Perkinsus spp. using culture in Rays Fluid Thyioglycollate Medium (RFTM) and PCR. Clams were negative for P....

Cholera in Lima, Peru, Correlates with Prior Isolation of Vibrio cholerae from the Environment (1997)

Franco, Augsto A., Fix, Alan D., Prada, Ana, Paredes, Eva, Palomino, Juan C., Wright, Anita C., ...

The authors utilized a recently developed DNA probe technique to obtain quantitative data on occurrence of Vibrio cholerae in samples collected monthly from 12 environmental sites in Lima, Peru, from...

Identification of a Group 1-Like Capsular Polysaccharide Operon for Vibrio vulnificus

Wright, Anita C., Powell, Jan L., Kaper, James B., Morris, J. Glenn

Virulence of Vibrio vulnificus correlates with changes in colony morphology that are indicative of a reversible phase variation for expression of capsular polysaccharide (CPS). Encapsulated variants...

Differential Expression of Vibrio vulnificus Capsular Polysaccharide

Wright, Anita C., Powell, Jan L., Tanner, Mike K., Ensor, Lynne A., Karpas, Arthur B., Morris, J. Glenn, ...

Vibrio vulnificus is a human pathogen whose virulence has been associated with the expression of capsular polysaccharide (CPS). Multiple CPS types have been described; however, virulence does not...

Real-Time PCR Analysis of Vibrio vulnificus from Oysters

Campbell, Mark S., Wright, Anita C.

Vibrio vulnificus is an opportunistic human pathogen commonly found in estuarine environments. Infections are associated with raw oyster consumption and can produce rapidly fatal septicemia in...

Expression of Vibrio vulnificus Capsular Polysaccharide Inhibits Biofilm Formation

Joseph, Lavin A., Wright, Anita C.

Vibrio vulnificus is a human pathogen that produces lethal septicemia in susceptible persons, and the primary virulence factor for this organism is capsular polysaccharide (CPS). The role of the...

Genetic Variation in the Vibrio vulnificus Group 1 Capsular Polysaccharide Operon

Chatzidaki-Livanis, Maria, Jones, Melissa K., Wright, Anita C.

Vibrio vulnificus produces human disease associated with raw-oyster consumption or wound infections, but fatalities are limited to persons with chronic underlying illness. Capsular polysaccharide...

Genetic Distinctions among Clinical and Environmental Strains of Vibrio vulnificus

Chatzidaki-Livanis, Maria, Hubbard, Michael A., Gordon, Katrina, Harwood, Valerie J., Wright, Anita C.

Vibrio vulnificus causes rare but frequently fatal septicemia associated with raw oyster consumption by persons with underlying hepatic or immune system dysfunction. The virulence potential of...

Evaluation of Postharvest-Processed Oysters by Using PCR-Based Most-Probable-Number Enumeration of Vibrio vulnificus Bacteriaâ–¿

Wright, Anita C., Garrido, Victor, Debuex, Georgia, Farrell-Evans, Melissa, Mudbidri, Archana A., Otwell, W. Steven

Postharvest processing (PHP) is used to reduce levels of Vibrio vulnificus in oysters, but process validation is labor-intensive and expensive. Therefore, quantitative PCR was evaluated as a rapid...
