Species code:	VIBPA
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Vibrionales; Vibrionaceae; Vibrio (TaxID: 670) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a major causative agent of gastroenteritis, particularly in areas with high seafood consumption. This organism naturally inhabits marine and estuarine environments. It seems suited to various lifestyles: a planktonic, free-swimming state; a sessile existence attached to shellfish in a commensal relation, to the bottoms of boats, or to other surfaces in the ocean; or in host organisms. It has several cell types such as the swimmer cell and the swarmer cell, and it can exist in a viable but non-culturable state.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Human pathogen: Yes Interaction: Animal pathogen in Mammalia; Animal commensal in Shellfish Number of membranes: 2 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of VIBPA entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 4821 (786 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 4035 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
