Abstract
⺠PAH derived from oil spills has proposed as a risk factor for elevated pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vp). ⺠We screened Vp isolates obtained from coastal Louisiana at the outset and during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. ⺠None of the isolates, which represented five distinct genotypes were able to grow on phenanthrene and naphthalene. ⺠The naphthalene degradation product 1-naphthol significantly inhibits isolate growth. ⺠PAH contamination does not appear to represent a significant risk factor for enrichment of potentially pathogenic Vp.
