With the overuse of antibiotics, many pathogens including Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus have evolved multidrug resistance making treatment more difficult. While understanding the mechanisms that underlie pathogenesis is crucial, knowledge of bacterial interactions of V. cholerae and V. parahaemolyticus could provide insight to their susceptibility outside of the human host. Based ...

OBJECTIVES A multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method was developed for the identification of three Vibrio species: Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Vibrio vulnificus. METHODS Specific primers and probes targeting the hlyA, tlh, and vvhA genes were selected and used for multiplex real-time PCR to confirm the identification of V. cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus,...

 Probiotic is considered as a remedy to solve disease problem in shrimp aquaculture. Shrimp body and environment bacterial flora are recommended as reliable source for extracting of beneficial bacteria. Therefore, 5000 pieces of post larvae of Penaeus monodon were distributed equally in 4 tanks in probiotic and antibiotic free condition up to juvenile. Then microbiological samples from digestiv...

This study evaluated the antibacterial activity of Biosecur(®) citrus extract surface cleaner against Vibrio vulnificus using plate count method. Two concentrations, 0.5% and 2% of Biosecur(®) surface cleaner were plated on Vibrio vulnificus Agar (VVA) and tested for reduction of Vibrio vulnificus. In order to investigate the lasting residual activity of Biosecur(®), antibacterial activity test...

background and objectives: the prevalence of vibrio parahaemolyticus has been reported from ponnani earlier, however incidence of multidrug resistant strains have been encountered recently in clinical laboratories. the source for such strains and their presence in this major fish landing centre has been investigated. materials and methods: antibiotic sensitivity tests on isolates of v. parahaem...

background : the aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of zataria multiflora boiss (avishan-e shirazi) and carum copticum (zenian) extracts on vibrio cholerae american type culture collection (atcc14035)and v. cholerae persian type culture collection (ptcc1611) strains. methods : antimicrobial effects of the extracts were assayed by disc diffusion and broth microdilution...

cholera is an infection of the small intestines caused by the bacterium v. cholerae. it is a major cause of health threat and also a major cause of death worldwide and especially in developing countries. the major virulence factor produced by v. cholerae during infection is the cholera toxin. total mrna extraction and reverse transcription was performed for making ctxab cdna. relative real-time...

materials and methods from 2004 to 2005, plants were collected from various ecological niches and the roots were used to isolate v. cholera. standard bacteriological, biochemical and serological tests were used for its typification. results in five out of the nine ecological niches explored, we collected either l. minor or e. crassipens, as these specimens cohabited only in two niches. v. chole...

The aim of the study was to identify vibrio disease in Eucheuma cottonii samples which had characteristics ice-ice disease, namely thallus whitish and broken. research conducted at two locations Lombok, Ekas Bay waters Buwun Mas Village. were identified as bacteria Sekotong Marine Aquaculture Center using biochemical methods. results showed that associated with observed seaweeds. types cause ar...

in the present study, the capability of dried indigenous biomass of vibrio and oceanimonas, was assessed and compared for mercury biosorption from aqueous solutions. it was found that both of the biosorbents reached equilibrium after 60 min of contact although the mercury sorption capacity of vibrio was significantly more. its sorption capacity increased from 9 to 83 mg/g biomass by increasing ...
