Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a major foodborne pathogen worldwide. The increasing number of cases of V. parahaemolyticus infections in China indicates an urgent need to evaluate the prevalence and genetic diversity of this pathogenic bacterium. In this paper, we introduce the Foodborne Vibrio parahaemolyticus genome database (FVPGD), the first scientific database of foodborne V. parahaemolyticus distribution and genomic data in China, based on our previous investigations of V. parahaemolyticus contamination in different kinds of food samples across China from 2011 to 2016. The dataset includes records of 2,499 food samples and 643 V. parahaemolyticus strains from supermarkets and marketplaces distributed over 39 cities in China; 268 whole-genome sequences have been deposited in this database. A spatial view on the risk situations of V. parahaemolyticus contamination in different food types is provided. Additionally, the database provides a functional interface of sequence BLAST, core genome multilocus sequence typing, and phylogenetic analysis. The database will become a powerful tool for risk assessment and outbreak investigations of foodborne pathogens in China.
副溶血性弧菌是全球范围内的一种主要食源性致病菌。中国副溶血性弧菌感染病例的数量不断增加,这表明迫切需要评估这种病原菌的流行情况和遗传多样性。在本文中,我们介绍了食源性副溶血性弧菌基因组数据库(FVPGD),这是中国首个有关食源性副溶血性弧菌分布和基因组数据的科学数据库,该数据库基于我们之前对 2011 年至 2016 年期间来自中国不同种类食品样本中副溶血性弧菌污染情况的调查。该数据集包含了来自超市和市场的 2499 份食品样本和 643 株副溶血性弧菌菌株的记录,这些样本分布在中国 39 个城市;该数据库中已经存入了 268 株副溶血性弧菌的全基因组序列。该数据库提供了不同食品类型中副溶血性弧菌污染风险情况的空间视图。此外,该数据库还提供了序列 BLAST、核心基因组多位点序列分型和系统发育分析的功能界面。该数据库将成为中国食源性致病菌风险评估和暴发调查的有力工具。
