FOR THE ENUMERATION FOR VIBRIO PARAHAEMOLYTICUS

Compact Dry VP is an easy to use counting system for Vibrio parahaemolyticus in food and environmental samples. Compact Dry VP can not only easily detect Vibrio parahaemolyticus, but also differentiate Vibrio parahaemolyticus from other vibrios.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a bacterium that can cause cholera. Vibrio parahaemolyticus-associated gastroenteritis is the infection caused by this organism. Vibrio parahaemolyticus naturally inhabits coastal waters and is present in higher concentrations during the summer; it is a halophilic, or salt-requiring organism. Vibrio parahaemolyticus is found in marine environments, seafoods, and the feces of patients with acute enteritis.

Results are available in 20-24 hours and are incubated at 35-37°C.

Easy-to-read-results test

The media contains a specific chromogenic substrate for Vibrio parahaemolyticus which develops blue/green or blue colonies, whereas other vibrios develop white colonies.

Easy-to-store test

The plates can be kept at room temperature for up to 15 months after production.

Each foil bag contains 4 tests, ideal for small or infrequent users.

Advantages

• Room temperature storage
• Sample is self diffusible, not need for the spreader plate
• Easier and faster to use than any other method.
• No height limits when stacking for  incubation.
• Easy to subculture suspect colonies
• Long shelf life
• No special diluents needed
• Allows culturing of filter membranes Each foil bag contains 4 tests, ideal for small or infrequent users.
