Analysis of Halophilic Phenotypic Variation and Cytotoxicity of Vibrio parahaemolyticus from Different Sources.

ABSTRACT: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is an aquatic animal pathogen. Recently, the detection rate of V. parahaemolyticus in freshwater products has exceeded that in seafood products, and the strains isolated from freshwater products exhibit better growth conditions in low-salinity environments. This study is based on a food risk detection activity in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, China, investigating the variation of halophilism and the virulence of two groups of strains under different salt concentrations. Under 0%, 0.5%, and 1% salt, the strains from the freshwater showed faster growth than those from the seawater. In comparison, the strains from the seawater group under 2% and 3% salt grew faster than the growing status under the foregoing low-salt concentration environment. The cytotoxi
