Description
Vibrios ‘s are short, often curved, gram-negative rods that are motile by means of a single polar sheathed flagellum. Their growth is stimulated by Na+ ions, which is an absolute requirement for most species. Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a halophilic Vibrio, is responsible worldwide for outbreaks of gastroenteritis associated with eating many kinds of contaminated sea foods. It has been isolated from raw shellfish and other fish in the warm coastal and estuarine waters.
VP Medium is prepared according to formula of De et al and is recommended for selective isolation of Vibrio species, especially V. parahaemolyticus from clinical specimens, foodstuffs, and environmental sample.
