Diarrheal disease remains an unsolved problem in developing countries. The emergence of new etiological agents (non-cholera vibrios) is a major cause of concern for health planners. We attempted to unveil the seasonal dynamics of entero-pathogenic Vibrios in Gangetic riverine-estuarine ecosystem. 120 surface water samples were collected for a period of one year from 3 sampling sites on the Hoog...

The three most common pathogenic species of Vibrio, Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus, are of major concerns due to increased incidence of water- and seafood-related outbreaks and illness worldwide. Current methods are lengthy and require biochemical and molecular confirmation. A novel label-free forward light-scattering sensor was developed to detect and identify c...

Fish skin mucus contains several immune substances that provide the first line of defence against a broad spectrum of pathogens although they are poorly studied to date. Terminal carbohydrate composition and levels of total IgM antibodies, several immune-related enzymes (lysozyme, peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, esterases, proteases and antiproteases) as well as the bactericidal activity (aga...

The purpose of this study was to examine the microbiological quality and consumer safety frozen black mussels purchased from four different markets (A, B, C, D) in İzmir Province Turkey. A total 36 mussel packages, which contained approximately 50 each, were markets. They not only examined for mesophilic, psychrotrophic, coliform fecal bacteria count but also investigated pathogenic such as Esc...

in this study , samples of farm shrimp species paeneus indicus obtained from different stages of hatchery and rearing period and subsequent marketing , water and sediments of rearing farms and marine shrimp species paeneus semisulcatus , were analysed for vibrio spp . according to the methods described by american public health association . the identified vibrio species , were vibrio alginolyt...

Cholera continues to remain a major public health threat around the globe. Understanding ecology, evolution, and environmental adaptation of causative agent Vibrio cholerae tracking emergence novel lineages with pathogenic potential are essential combat problem.

Today antibiotic resistance is turning out to be major challenge for the medical world. Thus, focus shifts to medicinal plants and natural sources as an alternative to the antibiotics. Herbal sources of drugs have been of interest since ancient times, thus easily accepted by general population. Considering the rich source and easy availability, five common spices (Cardamom-Elettaria cardamomum,...

The aim of this research was to study the occurrence of Vibrio spp., Aeromonas hydrophila, Escherichia coli and Campylobacter spp. in crayfish from Azerbaijan Province using culture method and PCR assay. A total of 55 isolates were collected from 97 studied samples. Vibrio spp., A. hydrophila, E. coli and Campylobacter spp. were detected in 26 samples (26.8%), 12 samples (12.3%), 15 samples (15...

Vibrio alginolyticus is a Gram-negative halophilic bacterium with worldwide distribution. In this work, we report the draft genome sequence of a V. alginolyticus strain (E0666) isolated from Epinephelus coioides ascites in the Shantou city of Guangdong Province, China.

Vibrio vulnificus (lactose-positive Vibrio), a recently recognized pathogenic marine species, produced extreme hemoconcentration and death within 3 to 6 h after subcutaneous or intraperitoneal injection of 10(8) viable cells into mice; hemotocrit values approached 70% (normal, 45%). About 1 ml of edema fluid accumulated at the site of each subcutaneous injection, and locally increased vascular ...
