我们报告说，鳗鱼病原体创伤弧菌生物型2也是一种人类的机会致病菌。使用两种生物型的参考菌株进行的详细比较研究的结果显示，临床菌株ATCC 33817（最初从人腿部伤口分离并归类为创伤弧菌（未注明其生物型参考））属于该物种的生物型2。作为生物型2菌株，它对吲哚呈阴性，对鳗鱼和小鼠具有致病性，携带两个高M（r）s质粒，属于血清群E，最近被认为是生物型2菌株的特征。因此，消费者必须采取适当措施，特别是那些有健康风险的消费者，以及养鱼户，尤其是在动物流行病爆发期间操纵鳗鱼时。
We report that the eel pathogen Vibrio vulnificus biotype 2 is also an opportunistic pathogen for humans. Results from a detailed comparative study using reference strains of both biotypes revealed that the clinical strain ATCC 33817, originally isolated from a human leg wound and classified as V. vulnificus (no reference on its biotype is noted), belongs to biotype 2 of the species. As a biotype 2 strain, it is negative for indole and pathogenic for eels and mice, harbors two plasmids of high M(r)s, and belongs to serogroup E, recently proposed as characteristic of biotype 2 strains. In consequence, appropriate measures must be taken by consumers, particularly by those running a health risk, and by fish farmers, above all when manipulating eels during epizootic outbreaks.
