This study reported the incidence of potentially pathogenic Vibrio spp. in fresh seafood from Itu creek. Studies were carried out to isolate, identify and characterized different Vibrio species in fish, crayfish and periwinkle obtained from the Itu creeks. Different parts analyzed using standard microbiological techniques were the gills, intestine and the body surfaces. The Vibrio species isola...

background several hundred thousand people are infected with vibrio cholera every year worldwide, with a case fatality rate over 2%. periodic cholera outbreaks are of important health issues in iran, especially in sistan and baluchistan province. objectives in this study, we evaluated cholera out breaks and related factors, during 2010-2013, to improve controlling the disease in this province. ...

cholera outbreak is more common in developing countries. the causative agent of the disease is vibrio cholerae strains o1 and o139. traditional diagnostic testing for vibrio is not always reliable, because vibrio can enter a viable but non cultivable state. therefore, nucleic acid-based tests have emerged as a useful alternative to traditional enrichment testing.       in this investigation, a ...

vibrio cholerae is a human pathogen that causes mild to severe diarrheal illnesses and has major public health significance. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of antimicrobial activity of the gold nanoparticles on vibrio cholera. gold and silver nanoparticles are chemically synthesized. standard strain of vibrio cholerawas cultured in a nutrient broth. minimum inhibitory conc...

The occurrence, diversity, and pathogenicity of Vibrio spp. were investigated in two estuaries along the Italian Adriatic coast. Vibrio alginolyticus was the predominant species, followed by Vibrio parahaemolyticus, non-O1 Vibrio cholerae, and Vibrio vulnificus. By using a biochemical fingerprinting method, all isolates were grouped into nine phenotypes with similarity levels of 75 to 97.5%. Th...

The aim of this research was to study the occurrence of Vibrio spp., Aeromonas hydrophila, Escherichia coli and Campylobacter spp. in crayfish from Azerbaijan Province using culture method and PCR assay. A total of 55 isolates were collected from 97 studied samples. Vibrio spp., A. hydrophila, E. coli and Campylobacter spp. were detected in 26 samples (26.8%), 12 samples (12.3%), 15 samples (15...

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile and halophilic bacterium identified as Vibrio harveyi was isolated from hatchery-reared larval of Iran Shrimp Research Centerfollowing mass mortality . Seven isolates of Vibrio spp.were collected from nauplii of Litopenaeus vannamei and then were evaluated for characteristics including morphology, physiology and biochemistry. The results indicated that the is...

Coastal region of Chah Bahar port, Sea of Oman, was screened for the presence of bioluminescence bacteria for the first time. Water samples were taken from surface and subsurface layers and immediately spread on nutrient seawater complete (SWC) agar. Luminous colonies were observed after an overnight incubation at 25°C. Among twenty luminous isolates, four of them were selected for preliminary ...
