Occurrence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, V. cholerae, and V. vulnificus in Norwegian Blue Mussels (Mytilus edulis)

Abstract

Vibrio parahaemolyticus, V. cholerae, and V. vulnificus were isolated from 10.3%, 1.0%, and 0.1% of 885 blue mussel samples, respectively. Four of the samples contained trh(+) V. parahaemolyticus, while no tdh-positive isolates were detected. The V. cholerae isolates were non-O:1/non-O:139 serotypes and were ctxA negative.
