The Characteristics of Vibrio parahaemolyticus Cultures Isolated in Tegillaria

꼬막에서 분리된 장염 Vibrio의 성상

Distribution of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the Tegillaria granosa Linne in Costal area Inchun. The survey has been done chiefly from the Inchun Sea ports during 5 months from Oct. 1974 to May 1975. 1. The number of Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated 17(13.8%) of 117 specimens from Anadara Subcrenata. 2. The number of Vibrio alginolyticus isolated 92 strains of 119 specimens from Tegillaria granosa Linne. 3. Bacteriological characterigation such as morphological, ecological, biochemical results of 17 isolated strain has been identified the category of typical Vibrio parahaemolyticus differentiation. 4. Most of Kanagawa positive strains was positive in Greig test, and considerable number of Kanagawa negative strains was also positive. The result of Greig test was almost the same between cultures in brain heart infusion broth and brain heart infusion agar. 5. Kanagawa positive strains showed same lethal activity in inoculated mice into peritoreal cavity as compared with Kanagawa negative strain.
