The contamination status of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in commercially valuable shellfish from the south and west coasts of Korea and the antimicrobial resistance patterns of isolated V. parahaemolyticus were investigated from July through October, 2011. The range of V. parahaemolyticus concentrations in oysters Crassostrea gigas and short neck clams Venerupis philippinarum was <30~290 MPN/100 g and <30~46,000 MPN/100 g, respectively, and greater than 10,000 MPN/100 g of V. parahaemolyticus was detected from 7 of 40 short neck clams. During the survey period, 436 strains of V. parahaemolyticus were isolated (129 from oysters and 307 from short-neck clams) and the antimicrobial resistance patterns of all of the isolates were examined. Antimicrobial resistance against at least one antibiotic was seen in 79.8% of the oyster isolates (103 strains) and 63.8% of the short neck clam isolates (196 strains). The antimicrobial resistance patterns were relatively simple because the antimicrobial resistance of the isolates was simply due to resistance to ampicillin. Only one oyster isolate and three short neck clam isolates showed multiple antibiotic resistance, i.e., resistance against more than four antibiotics.

The purpose of this investigation was to measure the level of bacterial contamination of oysters, and observe antibiotic resistance pattern of Vibro spp. found in oysters. For this experiment, 100 oysters were collected from 100 markets around seoul area from October, 2004 to January, 2005. Bacterial contaminations of the oysters were confirmed by performing the method of standard plate count and desoxycholate lactose agar plate. Total plate counts were $2.7\times$$10^{2}$$\sim$$1.2\times$$10^{5}$ cfu/g. Coliform group were $1.0\times$$1.0^{1}$$\sim$$3.2\times$$10^{5}$ cfu/g. Results have shown that Vibrio spp. was present in $64\%$ of the 100 sampls. Antibiotic resistance pattern of Vibrio spp. showed that $MIC_{50}$ of chloramphenicol was 0.2 g/mL, $MIC_{90}$ was 25 $\mu$g/mL, and $MIC_{50}$ of tetracycline was < 0.05 $\mu$g/mL, $MIC_{90}$ was 25 $\mu$g/mL, and $MIC_{50}$ of ciprofloxacin was 0.01 g/mL, $MIC_{90}$ was 10> $\mu$g/mL. Three of the six strains were identified as Vibrio alginolyricus.
