Abstract:
:A study was carried out on the occurrence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in 1,100 diarrheal feces, routinely sent to a private clinical laboratory for microbiologic diagnosis, in Recife. V. parahaemolyticus was isolated from 14 (1.3%) fecal samples. However, if we considered only the specimens from adult patients, the isolation rate of V. parahaemolyticus rose to 7.1%. In most cases (92.86%), V. parahaemolyticus was the only enteropathogen recognized. Among the isolates, seven K antigen serovars were demonstrated, and three were untypable. Only two human isolates, both ureolytic, did not produce the thermostable direct hemolysin. We concluded that V. parahaemolyticus is an important cause of sea food linked diarrhea among adults in Recife.
