Date Issued 1999 (iso8601)
Abstract Incidence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and total bacterial count of water, sediment and
prawn (Penaeus monodon) from a brackishwater culture pond situated near Cochin were
studied. V. parahaemolyticus count was 460 MPNml"1 in water and in sediment, it was upto
2.4xl04 MPNg-1. V. parahaemolyticus load of prawn harvested from the pond was 2.4xl04
MPNg"1. Water temperature varied from 28.2 to 320C, salinity from 1.83 to 24.58%o and pH
from 7.51 to 8.69. 12.4% of V. parahaemolyticus strains were Kanagawa-positive. All the 250
strains were found sensitive towards chloramphenicol, 68.4% were sensitive to gentamycin,
18% were sensitive to tetracyclin and 16.8% to streptomycin. None of the strains was found
sensitive towards penicillin and polymyxin-B.
