Primary Evaluation of the Detection Effect for Vibrio parahaemolyticus Chromogenic Medium

Abstract:

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is an important food-borne pathogenic bacterium that widely exists in all kinds of seafood. As the traditional media and method were very costly-time and money, a new chromogenic medium (HKC vibrio) was designed in this assay. Through detecting the artificially contaminated samples and natural samples, the sensitivity, specificity and detection effect of HKC vibrio were studied and compared with CHROMagar vibrio and TCBS. The results showed that HKC vibrio had the same sensitivity as CHROMagar vibrio and TCBS, also had highly specificity. In conclusion, HKC vibrio was an invaluable medium which may improve the detection efficiency of Vibrio parahaemolyticus dramatictly.
