ABSTRACT
Vibrio is an important group of aquatic animal pathogens, which has been identified as the main pathogenic factor causing mass summer mortality of Crassostrea gigas in northern China. This study aims to investigate the potential pathogenic mechanisms of Vibrio Cg5 isolate in C. gigas. We sequenced and annotated the genome of Vibrio Cg5 to analyze potential virulence factors. The gentamicin protection assays were performed with C. gigas primary cells to reveal the cell-invasive behavior of Cg5. The genome analysis showed that Cg5 was a strain of human disease-associated pathogen with multiple antibiotic resistance, and four virulence factors associated with intracellular survival were present in the genome. The gentamicin protection assays showed that Cg5 could potentially invade the cells of C. gigas, indicating that Cg5 could be a facultative intracellular pathogen of C. gigas. These results provide insights into the pathogenic mechanism of V. diabolicus, an emerging pathogenic Vibrio on aquatic animals, which would be valuable in preventing and controlling diseases in oysters.
