| Summary: | Vibrio parahaemolyticus is one of the clinically significant vibrios.
The study isolated V. parahaemolyticus from oysters grown in coastal water. V.
parahaemolyticus was identified through colony characterization using selective
agar (TCBS) and biochemical tests (CDC 1999). The bacteriophage was isolated
through process of enrichment, membrane filtration technigue using coastal water
where oysters were grown. Isolated V. parahaemolyticus and pure culture of
bacteriophage were used in the lawn spot test and the formation of plaque
(clearing) was observed which shows lytic effect on V. parahaemolyticus.
The researchers confirmed the presence of V .parahaemolyticus in
the coastal water and detection of lytic bacteriophage against V. parahaemolyticus
from coastal water. |
