Vibrio vulnificus is an estuarine bacterium that is capable of causing a rapidly fatal infection in humans. A randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) PCR protocol was developed for use in detectingV. vulnificus , as well as other members of the genusVibrio . The resulting RAPD profiles were analyzed by using RFLPScan software. This RAPD method clearly differentiated between members of the genusVibrio and between isolates ofV. vulnificus . EachV. vulnificus strain produced a unique band pattern, indicating that the members of this species are genetically quite heterogeneous. All of the vibrios were found to have amplification products whose sizes were within four common molecular weight ranges, while theV. vulnificus strains had an additional two molecular weight range bands in common. All of theV. vulnificus strains isolated from clinical specimens produced an additional band that was only occasionally found in environmental strains; this suggests that, as is the case with the Kanagawa hemolysin ofVibrio parahaemolyticus , the presence of this band may be correlated with the ability of a strain to produce an infection in humans. In addition, band pattern differences were observed between encapsulated and nonencapsulated isogenic morphotypes of the same strain ofV. vulnificus .
