Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the most prevalent foodborne pathogen in Taiwan and some other coastal Asian countries, and its antioxidative activity contributes to the tolerance of this bacterium to different environmental stresses. This study reports on the function of the organic hydroperoxide resist...
