我们报告了一组严重的霍乱病引起的拟态弧菌感染的四个人谁吃了剩下的小龙虾后，一个私人小龙虾煮的第二天。由拟态弧菌引起的胃肠道疾病以前在华盛顿州没有报道。3例病例经粪便培养实验室确认;使用PCR，发现分离株具有编码霍乱毒素（CT）的ctx基因。其中两名患者因霍乱样疾病住院接受重症监护。这些疾病最有可能是由煮熟的小龙虾与未煮熟的小龙虾交叉污染引起的;然而，在冷冻小龙虾的剩余样品中，没有分离出小步舞弧菌，也没有通过PCR检测到CT基因。临床医生应该意识到，拟态弧菌可以产生CT，拟态弧菌感染可以导致严重的疾病。
We report a cluster of severe diarrheal disease caused by Vibrio mimicus infection among four persons who had consumed leftover crayfish the day after a private crayfish boil. Gastrointestinal illness caused by Vibrio mimicus has not been reported previously in Washington State. Three cases were laboratory confirmed by stool culture; using PCR, isolates were found to have ctx genes that encode cholera toxin (CT). Two of the cases were hospitalized under intensive care with a cholera-like illness. The illnesses were most likely caused by cross-contamination of cooked crayfish with uncooked crayfish; however, V. minuet's was not isolated nor were CT genes detected by PCR in leftover samples of frozen crayfish. Clinicians should be aware that V. mimicus can produce CT and that V. mimicus infection can cause severe illness.
