Abstract
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to investigate the distribution of virulence genes and the antimicrobial resistance patterns in Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated from commercial marine products and aquarium water. A total of 439 commercial marine products and aquarium water samples, including 245 shellfish, 64 aquarium water samples, 63 fish, 43 tunicata, 16 cephalopods and 8 crustaceans, were tested in this study. V. parahaemolyticus was detected in 21 (4.8%) of the 439 commercial marine products and aquarium water samples. Furthermore, tlh and toxR, which are species-specific genes, were detected in all of the strains, while virulence genes tdh and trh were not detected in any of the strains. According to the antimicrobial resistance test, 19 strains (90.5%) were resistant to ampicillin and one strain (4.8%) was resistant to cefoxitin. In addition, one strain that was initially found to be resistant to cefoxitin was confirmed to be a multidrug-resistant bacterium that was also resistant to ampicillin. However, all strains were found to be sensitive to 10 antimicrobial agents.
