A collection of 174 global isolates of Vibrio parahaemolyticus were analyzed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) on the basis of ten conserved genes. The results showed a high level of nucleotide and allelic diversity with the evidence of purifying selection and of frequent recombination. Recombination played a much greater role than mutation in generating genetic heterogeneity. The 174 strains could be assigned into 89 different sequence types, which could be further separated into six clonal complexes (CCs; CC1 to CC6) plus 71 singletons. The three major CCs, namely CC1 to CC3, corresponded to the groups of pre-1996 clinical old-O3: K6 strains (trh(+), T3SS2 beta(+), tdh(-), T3SS2 alpha(-), and GS-PCR-), post-1996 pandemic strains (trh(-), T3SS2 beta(-), tdh(+), T3SS2 alpha(+), and GS-PCR+) and non-clinical isolates (trh(-), T3SS2 beta(-), tdh(-), T3SS2 alpha(-), and GS-PCR-), respectively. The MLST data enable the construction of a phylogenetic structure from the allelic profiles rather the nucleotide sequences, so as to reduce the affect of frequent recombination. The six CCs arose on a background of mutation and recombination, and according to the previously reported data, this bacterium could be evolved fast due to lateral acquisition of foreign genes especially including those encoding virulence determinants. V. parahaemolyticus had a typical epidemic population structure that is driven by mutation, recombination and lateral gene transfer. (c) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
