Effects of triclosan on bacterial community composition and Vibrio populations in natural seawater microcosms
Abstract
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products, including antimicrobials, can be found at trace levels in treated wastewater effluent. Impacts of chemical contaminants on coastal aquatic microbial community structure and pathogen abundance ...

Taxonomic annotation errors incorrectly assign the family Pseudoalteromonadaceae to the order Vibrionales in Greengenes: implications for microbial community assessments
Abstract
Next-generation sequencing has provided powerful tools to conduct microbial ecology studies. Analysis of community composition relies on annotated databases of curated sequences to provide taxonomic assignments; however, these databases...

Patterns of triclosan resistance in Vibrionaceae
Abstract
The antimicrobial additive triclosan has been used in personal care products widely across the globe for decades. Triclosan resistance has been noted among Vibrio spp., but reports have been anecdotal and the extent of phenotypic triclo...

Effect of Ploidy on Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus Levels in Cultured Oysters.
Abstract
Vibrio parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus are naturally occuring human pathogenic bacteria commonly found in estuarine environments where oysters are cultured. The use of triploid oysters has increased, due to their rapid growth rate an...

Biochemical and Virulence Characterization of Vibrio vulnificus Isolates From Clinical and Environmental Sources
Abstract
Vibrio vulnificus is a deadly human pathogen for which infections occur via seafood consumption (foodborne) or direct contact with wounds. Virulence is not fully characterized for this organism; however, there is evidence of biochemical...

Draft genome sequence of multidrug-resistant Vibrio navarrensis strain DA9 isolated from a coastal canal in the Florida Keys (USA)
Abstract
ABSTRACT A presumptive Vibrio isolate with a multidrug resistance profile was isolated from surface seawater collected from a coastal canal in 2014 and identified as Vibrio navarrensis, designated as strain DA9. Here, we report a 5.1-Mb...

Unveiling Vegetation Roots in Earthen Sites: Assessment Model based on Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
Abstract
In the conservation of earthen sites in humid environments, damage induced by vegetation root systems constitutes one of the primary threats. However, quantitative assessment of root system architecture remains severely constrained by t...
