Environmental investigation of potentially pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the Seto-Inland Sea, Japan

Abstract: Seawater and organic material (live and/or dead matter deposited on any substratum submersed in seawater) were collected during the cool weather season from a coast of the Seto-Inland Sea, Japan, and analyzed to determine Vibrio parahaemolyticus densities and the occurrence of pathogenic strains, defined as those possessing tdh and/or trh genes by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), using isolated DNA from enrichment culture of the samples. About 95% of the samples were positive for V. parahaemolyticus (with … Show more

“…However, contact with water containing V. parahaemolyticus can lead to wound infection and septicemia, with a life‐threatening potential for individuals with pre‐existing medical conditions (Su and Liu, 2007). Early studies estimated V. parahaemolyticus was responsible for up to 30% of all food‐poisoning cases in Japan (Jahangir Alam et al ., 2002), and similar claims have been made in other parts of Asia (Koralage et al ., 2012; Yu et al ., 2013). Furthermore, V. parahaemolyticus has been identified as the leading cause of seafood‐associated gastroenteritis in the United States (Mead et al ., 1999) and China (Li et al ., 2014) since the 1990s.…”
