Abstract
The distribution of hemolytic Vibrio sp. from sea water of three main beaches located in Busan (Gwangan(G), Haeundae(H) and Songjeong(S) beaches) was investigated from June to September 2006 ; this is mid-summer and the main season for bathing. The monthly detection ratio from each beach was 29.2% (7 of 24 samples, G), 33.3% (8 of 24 samples, H), and 16.7% (4 of 24 samples, S). The most probable number(MPN) of strains detected ranged from 1.8-36(G), 1.8-180(H) and 1.8-18(S) MPN/100mL. Of the isolated strains, 24 strains showed definite hemolytic activity. These 24 strains were identified as Vibrio fluvialis, Vibrio vulnificus, Aeromonas hydrophila, Actinobacillus ureae and Eikenella corrodens. Vibrio fluvialis was detected from all three beaches investigated. Vibrio vulnificus was detected from Haeundae and Gwangan beaches. Gwangan beach had a higher detection ratio of Vibrio sp. than Haeundae and Songjeong beaches. These results suggest that seafood harvested from the vicinity of theses beaches may cause food poisoning and risk management to prevent Vibrio septicemia is required, especially for Haeundae and Gwangan beaches.
