Prevalence, pathogenicity, and serotypes of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in shrimp from Chinese retail markets
چکیده انگلیسی


- High prevalence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus was determined in Chinese retail shrimp.
- V. parahaemolyticus isolates were characterised by pathogenicity and serotype.
- Five trh-positive isolates were identified in fresh shrimp samples.
- Serovar O2 was the predominant V. parahaemolyticus isolate in shrimp samples.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is one of the most common foodborne pathogens in Asian countries. V. parahaemolyticus contamination of retail shrimp in China has been reported previously, and such contaminated shrimp have been linked to outbreaks of foodborne diseases. However, to date, the prevalence of V. parahaemolyticus in retail shrimp in China has not been determined. This study aimed at identifying the prevalence of V. parahaemolyticus in shrimps in Chinese retail market. From May 2012 to April 2013, a total of 273 shrimp samples was obtained from retail markets in 16 provinces (19 cities) of China. V. parahaemolyticus was detected in 103 (37.7%) of 273 samples by the most probable number method. Bacterial densities were less than 100 MPN/g in 95.1% (98/103) of the samples. Five trh-positive isolates were identified from 247 isolates, and none of the isolates were tdh-positive. In multiplex PCR-based O-antigen serotyping of these 247 pathogenic isolates, all O-antigen serotypes, except O9, were detected, and serotype O2 was found to be the most prevalent (detected in 82 isolates). This is the first report on V. parahaemolyticus prevalence in retail shrimp in China, and the findings of this study can be used for microbiological risk assessment of shrimp in China.
