| [distribution of vibrio vulnificus along the coastal area of shimane prefecture and contamination of retail fish and shellfish with v. vulnificus in shimane prefecture, japan]. | we studied distribution of vibrio vulnificus in sea water, sediment, and shellfish along the coast and contamination of retail fish and shellfish with v. vulnificus in shimane prefecture, japan between 2001 and 2004. v. vulnificus was isolated from 77 (68.1%) of 113 sea water samples with < or =10(5) mpn/l, 88 (70.4%) of 125 sediment samples with < or = 10(7) mpn/100g, 8 (17.2%) of 46 fish samples with < or = 10(6) cfu/10 g and 68 (43.8%) of 156 shellfish samples with < or = 10(6) mpn/10g. this ... | 2006 | 16780128 |
| ecology of vibrio vulnificus and vibrio parahaemolyticus in brackish environments of the sada river in shimane prefecture, japan. | while there are several studies on the ecology of vibrio vulnificus and vibrio parahaemolyticus in estuarine water environments around the world, there is little information on the distribution of both organisms during the cold-weather months. thus, we conducted a multi-year study on the ecology of both organisms in brackish environments of the sada river, a drainage canal flowing slowly into the japan sea from lake shinji in shimane prefecture, japan. water samples were collected twice a month ... | 2004 | 19712405 |
