| Abstract | Four hundred and thirty-three samples consisting of fresh fish and frozen fish products collected from markets and fish processing factories from Cochin were examined for the incidence of enteric pathogen, Shigella. All samples were found to be free from Shigella. Survival of different pathogenic species of Shigella viz., S. dysenteriae (ATTC-2335), S. flexneri (ATTC-12022) and S. sonnei (ATCC-11060) in prawn homogenate stored at -20 degree celcius was studied. S. dysenteriae and S. sonnei could survive only upto 35 days but S. flexneri could survive for more than 52 days. |
