Popis: Abstract Purpose Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a leading seafood borne pathogen worldwide. The aim of this study was to decipher the response mechanism of V. parahaemolyticus isolates of clinical and aquatic animal origins to the hypoxic condition, which challenges the bacterial survival in the host and in the environment. Methods Growth profiles of V. parahaemolyticus isolates (n = 5) of clinical and aquatic animal origins were examined at different stress conditions (osmolality, acid, temperature, and O2 concentrations). Draft genomes of the V. parahaemolyticus isolates were determined using the Illumina sequencing technique. Comparative genomic analysis were performed to identify and validate the hypoxic tolerance-related genes. Results The V. parahaemolyticus isolates had an oxygen concentration-dependent growth mode, and the 10% O2 condition strongly inhibited the bacterial growth, when incubated in TSB medium (pH 8.5, 3% NaCl) at 37 °C. Unexpectedly, in marked contrast to the normal 21% O2 condition, the 10% O2 treatment for 24 h significantly increased biofilm formation of V. parahaemolyticus isolates (p
