摘 要:
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a significant foodborne pathogen commonly associated with seafood consumption, posing serious public health risks worldwide. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated the widespread prevalence of this bacterium in aquatic environments and seafood products, highlighting the importance of monitoring its distribution and outbreak potential. The genetic diversity of V. parahaemolyticus contributes to its adaptability and virulence, making molecular characterization essential for understanding strain variation and pathogenicity. Traditional culture-based detection methods, although reliable, are often time-consuming and labor-intensive, prompting the development of rapid molecular techniques such as PCR-based typing and genomic analyses. Integrating epidemiological data with molecular profiling enables more accurate risk assessment and enhances food safety management strategies. Recent studies emphasize the correlation between genetic markers, virulence factors, and antimicrobial resistance patterns, providing insights into the pathogen’s evolution and public health impact. This body of research underscores the necessity for continuous surveillance and the application of advanced molecular tools to ensure the safety of seafood products. By combining epidemiology, genotyping, and rapid detection methods, a comprehensive understanding of V. parahaemolyticus can be achieved, supporting effective prevention and control measures in the seafood industry.
