Abstract

Vibrio as one of the main pathogens of shellfish diseases can cause serious human seafoodborne gastroenteritis and even death. In this study, we analyzed the bacterial communities from the clam, and compared the resistance phenotypes and genotypes of Vibrio spp. from Meretrix meretrix at different growth stages. High-throughput sequencing analysis revealed the predominance of Proteobacteria (50%) in the bacterial community and Vibrio was one of the dominant genera in the clam hepatopancreas in the summer. Vibrio abundance in Meretrix meretrix positively correlated with the water temperature (p
