Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a marine bacterium with a worldwide distribution and is frequently associated with human outbreaks of infection. Detection and isolation of V parahaemolyticus from natural sources is often problematical because of limitations in the analytical procedures. We evaluated a combination of conventional and molecular protocols previously described for the investigation of V parahaemolyticus, with the aim of identifying the best procedures for improved detection of this organism in environmental matrixes. A total of 259 samples of zooplankton (103), mussels (48) and seawater (108) were investigated by an Absence-Presence method (A/P), whereas 118 samples of zooplankton (70) and mussels (48) were analyzed by the Most Probable Number (MPN) method. All samples were processed by a two-step enrichment procedure, firstly with APW broth and then with SPB as selective secondary broth. Detection of V parahoemolyticus was by direct-PCR and by plate culture on TCBS and CHROMagar Vibrio, after sample enrichment in APW and SPB. With the A/P method, V. parahaemolyticus was detected in 23.6% samples by direct-PCR, whereas only 11.2% samples were positive with the plate culture method. With the MPN method, V. parahaemolyticus was detected in 54.2% and 27.1% of the samples by direct-PCR and plate culture respectively: this indicated the existence of 31% false negative results with the A/P method. No significant differences between the use of a single (APW) or two-step enrichment (APW+SPB) were observed by direct-PCR with A/P or MPN, although a significant higher presence of V. parahaemolyticus was detected by plate culture in both protocols with the two-step enrichment procedure. In conclusion, direct-PCR after sample enrichment in APW broth was the most successful method for detection of V. parahaemolyticus with the A/P procedure and enumeration by MPN. Better detection was obtained with MPN than with the A/P protocol. Conversely, the plate culture procedure showed better results with the two-step enrichment protocol in which CHROMagar Vibrio was used as the selective agar. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
