Oysters collected in late winter, when they were free of Vibrio vulnificus, were exposed in the organism in the laboratory. The oysters effectively concentrated the bacteria from seawater, but when the inoculum was removed, the bacteria were rapidly cleared from the oyster tissues. These results suggest that V. vulnificus may be found in oysters as a result of filtration of the bacteria from seawater rather than active multiplication of the bacteria in the oysters.
在冬季末期采集的、不含创伤弧菌的牡蛎,在实验室中暴露于该病菌环境。牡蛎有效地从海水中富集了这种细菌,但当接种物被移除后,细菌很快就从牡蛎组织中清除了。这些结果表明,创伤弧菌可能是牡蛎通过过滤海水中的细菌而携带的,而非在牡蛎体内主动繁殖所致。
