In this study, we analyzed 15 clinical and 11 environmental isolates. In total, 20 sequence types (STs), including eight novel STs, were identified. Antibiotic resistance gene analysis commonly detected the cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) in both the clinical and environmental isolates. Interestingly, clinical and environmental isolates were non-susceptible to third-generation cephalosporins, such as ceftazidime and cefotaxime, complicating the treatment of <jats:italic>V. vulnificus<\/jats:italic> infection. Multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) index ranged from 0.1 to 0.5, with clinical isolates showing a higher mean MAR index than the environmental isolates, indicating their broader spectrum of resistance. Notable, no quantitative (124.3 vs. 126.5) and qualitative (adherence, antiphagocytosis, and chemotaxis\/motility) differences in virulence factors were observed between the environmental and clinical strains. The molecular characteristics identified in this study provide insights into the virulence of <jats:italic>V. vulnificus<\/jats:italic> strains in South Korea, highlighting the need for continuous surveillance of antibiotic resistance in emerging <jats:italic>V. vulnificus<\/jats:italic> strains.\n<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s44342-024-00029-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,27]],"date-time":"2024-11-27T13:27:06Z","timestamp":1732714026000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Genomic characteristics of Vibrio vulnificus strains isolated from clinical and environmental sources"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Jinkyeong","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeong-Ih","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Woo Young","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kun Taek","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yeun-Jun","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seung-Hyun","family":"Jung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"29_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1999","DOI":"10.1007\/s10096-019-03629-5","volume":"38","author":"F Leng","year":"2019","unstructured":"Leng F, Lin S, Wu W, Zhang J, Song J, Zhong M.
