Exemplar Abstract for Vibrio mimicus Davis et al. 1982.

ABSTRACT Bacteria, γ-subclass of Proteobacteria, Vibrio-Photobacterium, Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio cholerae-Vibrio mimicus, and Vibrio cincinnatiensis in water samples collected from the Choptank River in Chesapeake Bay from 15 April to 16 December 1996 were enumerated using a fluorescent oligonucleotide direct-counting (FODC) procedure. FODC results obtained using a Bacteria taxon-specific probe ranged from one-third the number of to the same number as that obtained by the acridine orange direct count (AODC) procedure. The abundance of individual taxa (per liter) ranged from 0.25 × 1010 to 2.6 × 1010 Bacteria, 0.32 × 108 to 3.1 × 108 γ-Proteobacteria, 0.2 × 108 to 2.1 × 108 Vibrio-Photobacterium, 0.5 × 107 to 10 × 107 V. vulnificus, 0.2 × 106 to 6 × 106 V. cholerae-V. mimicus, and 0.5 × 105 to 8 × 105 V. cincinnatiensis. The occurrence of all taxa monitored in this study was higher in summer; however, these taxa made up a larger proportion of the Bacteria when the water temperature was low. Large fluctuations in species abundance as well as in percent composition of Vibrio-Photobacterium occurred from week to week, indicating that localized blooms of these taxa occur. The cross-Choptank River transect sample profile of V. vulnificus and V. cholerae-V. mimicus varied significantly in abundance, and trans-Choptank River transect samples revealed a patchy distribution.

The thiosulfate–citrate–bile salts–sucrose agar (TCBS) used in the most-probable-number method for detecting Vibrio parahaemolyticus cannot differentiate growth of V. parahaemolyticus from Vibrio vulnificus or Vibrio mimicus. This study examined the selectivity and specificity of Bio-Chrome Vibrio medium (BCVM), a chromogenic medium that detects V. parahaemolyticus on the basis of the formation of distinct purple colonies on the medium. A panel consisting of 221 strains of bacteria, including 179 Vibrio spp. and 42 non-Vibrio spp., were examined for their ability to grow and produce colored colonies on BCVM. Growth of Salmonella, Shigella, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Aeromonas was inhibited by both BCVM and TCBS. All 148 strains of V. parahaemolyticus grew on BCVM, and 145 of them produced purple colonies. The remaining 31 Vibrio spp., except one strain of Vibrio fluvialis, were either unable to grow or produced blue-green or white colonies on BCVM. Bio-Chrome Vibrio medium was capable of differentiating V. parahaemolyticus from other species, including V. vulnificus and V. mimicus. Further studies are needed to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of BCVM for detecting V. parahaemolyticus in foods.

The skin, gills, intestines, tank water, and diet of striped bass grown in recirculating tanks were examined for quantity and quality of microflora. Plate counts for the fish and water samples were similar to counts reported in other systems. The bacteria groups represented most frequently in isolates from the fish were Aeromonas (14%), Moraxellaceae (15%), the Flavobacterium-Chryseobacterium-Cytophaga-Sphingobacterium group (11 %), Bacillus (8%), Group I Pseudomonas (6%), the Shewanella-Alteromonas group (6%), and Comamonadaceae (5%). The food-borne pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, motile Aeromonas spp., and Vibrio mimicus were isolated repeatedly. V. parahaemolyticus and V. cholera were each isolated once, and no Listeria, Plesiomonas, Salmonella, or Yersinia enterocolitica were isolated. Close taxonomic relationships were observed among some of the bacteria found on the fish and in the water; bacteria from the skin and gills were more likely to be related to each other and to the water isolates than to the intestinal isolates. Some bacteria in the intestines originated in the diet, but these strains did not significantly affect the overall microflora of the fish and water.
