In the marine environment, bivalve mollusks constitute habitats for bacteria of the
Vibrionaceae family. Vibrios belong to the microbiota of healthy oysters and mussels, which …

The Pacific oyster (Crassostreae gigas) has been introduced from Asia to numerous
countries around the world during the 20th century. C. gigas is the main oyster species …

Polymicrobial infections threaten the health of humans and animals but remain understudied
in natural systems. We recently described the Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome (POMS), a …

The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas lives in microbe-rich marine coastal systems subjected
to rapid environmental changes. It harbours a diversified and fluctuating microbiota that …

This review is the tenth update of the original article published in 1999 on the application of
matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry to the analysis of …

The Splendidus clade is the largest clade in Vibrionaceae, and its members are often
related to mortality of marine animals with huge economic losses. The molecular bases of …

Mass mortality events caused by vibriosis have emerged in hatchery-reared scallop larvae
from Chile, threatening scallop aquaculture. In an attempt to mitigate this emerging …

Vibrio splendidus is a pathogen that infects a wide range of hosts, especially the sea
cucumber species Apostichopus japonicus. Previous studies showed that the level of L …

Vibrio species are natural inhabitants of aquatic environments and have complex
interactions with the environment that drive the evolution of traits contributing to their …

Evolution of virulence traits from adaptation to environmental niches other than the host is
probably a common feature of marine microbial pathogens, whose knowledge might be …
