OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.	The article describes the virulence properties of Vibrio harveyi which is one of the pathogens causing diseases in fish as well as humans. It described the mechanisms used to identify bacteria virulence properties, compare between different strains, the identification of plasmids and other mobile genetic element involved in the transfer of virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes between bacteria species. The findings of this study suggest that plasmid-mediated gene transfer plays a role in the virulence variability observed between V. harveyi strains. This study contributes to understanding the genomic factors underlying pathogenicity in V. harveyi and provides insights for future research aimed at controlling vibriosis in aquaculture.
