Estratto

Mentre la maggior parte delle altre malattie di origine alimentare può essere trasmessa da una varieta di alimenti, la gastroenterite da V. parahaemolyticus viene trasmessa esclusivamente attraverso prodotti ittici; il coinvolgimento di altri alimenti e dovuto a contaminazioni crociata con i prodotti della pesca. Un’altra caratteristica peculiare di questa sindrome e l’habitat naturale dell’agente eziologico: il mare. Oltre a causare gastroenterite, nell’uomo V. parahaemolyticus provoca infezioni extraintestinali.
