Description 887-890
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a marine
bacterium that causes seafood borne gastroenteritis and traveler’s diarrhea in
humans, after consumption of contaminated raw or partially cooked fish or shell
fish. In this study a total of 224 marine fish and shellfish samples were
screened that included 34 of Bhetki (Lates calcarifer), 40 of Parse (Liza
parsia), 40 of Pabda (Ompok pabda), 30 of Pomfret (Pampus
chinensis), 38 of Lote fish (Harpodon nehereus) and 42 of Tiger
prawn (Penaeus monodon). V. parahaemolyticus was identified by
biochemical characterization and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting the toxR
gene. Out of 224 samples, V. parahaemolyticus could be isolated and
biochemically characterized from 170 (75.9 %) samples including L.
calcarifer 31 (91.2%), L. parsia 28 (70.0%), O. pabda 30
(75.0%), P. chinensis 22 (73.3%), H. nehereus 28 (73.7%) and P.
monodon 31 (73.8%). All the positive isolates were further confirmed by PCR
amplification of target gene, toxR.
