isolation of vibrio parahaemolyticus from fecal specimens on mannitol salt agar.unless laboratories use an inhibitory medium, vibrio parahaemolyticus will be unrecognizable in fecal specimens. the use of a medium exclusively for vibrio isolation, such as thiosulfate-citrate-bile salts-sucrose agar (tcbs), however, may not be considered economically justified in the united states. the isolation and recognition of v. parahaemolyticus is reported on mannitol salt agar (ms), a medium which is used for fecal specimens here. eight kanagawa-positive and two of three kanagawa-negat ...1976965479
effect of dissolved aromatic hydrocarbons on the growth of marine bacteria in batch culture.dissolved aromatic hydrocarbons were found to decrease growth rate and maximum cell density of marine bacteria in batch cultures. the magnitude of the decrement was observed to be a function of concentration of the hydrocarbon and inherent toxicity. the inherent toxicity was observed to increase inversely with solubility such that naphthalene at 100 mum concentration demonstrated a toxic effect similar to benzopyrene at 0.02 mum. a partial oxidation product of naphthalene was found to be more ef ...1976970939
sparing effect of lithium ion on the specific requirement for sodium ion for growth of vibrio parahaemolyticus.the role of nacl in the growth of vibrio parahaemolyticus strain a-55 was investigated. maximal growth was obtained at 0.5 m nacl in a synthetic medium. na+ could not be replaced for growth by any other cations or substances. when the medium was kept isotonic with 0.5 m nacl by the addition of sucrose, good growth was obtained with 0.1 m nacl. by reducing the osmotic pressure and decreasing the nacl concentration from 0.5 m to 0.1 m, the same growth yield was obtained as when using a medium cont ...1976974918
tolerance and other biological properties of vibrio parahaemolyticus endotoxins.biological properties of endotoxins prepared from three strains of vibrio parahaemolyticus were compared with reference to commercially prepared salmonella typhi endotoxin. endotoxin assays performed in rabbits included dermal shwartzman reactivity, pyrogenicity, heat stability, and ability to induce tolerance as well as cross-tolerance. mice were used for endotoxin ld50 determinations. results showed v. parahaemolyticus endotoxins were similar to that of s. typhi strain o901. induction of toler ...1976978838
membrane filter procedure for enumeration of vibrio parahaemolyticus.a membrane filtration procedure has been developed for the enumeration of vibrio parahaemolyticus in marine waters. background microbial growth on the primary medium was decreased through the use of sodium cholate and copper sulfate, high ph, 3% nacl, and an elevated incubation temperature. a series of in situ tests was employed to obviate the picking of colonies for identification; thereby, the enumeration of v. parahaemolyticus was accomplished within 30 h. confirmation of typical colonies app ...1976984837
food poisoning caused by parahaemolytic and nag vibrios after eating meat products.at total of 15 subjects taken ill with food poisoining caused by parahaemolytic and nag vibrios after eating boiled pork sausage and boiled veal stomach were examined. the meat products were secondarily contamined in the sausage factory due to the use od non-disinfected lake water which was found to be a natural medium of the vibrios. when the use of this water was prohibited, the contamination of the factory and the meat products disappeared and no further cases of food poisoning due to meat pr ...1976987098
