High prevalence of thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH)-like toxin in Vibrio mimicus strains isolated from diarrhoeal patients.

M Uchimura1, K Koiwai, Y Tsuruoka, H Tanaka.   

Abstract

A total of 17 isolates of Vibrio mimicus from patients, 29 from environment and 2 from food was examined for toxigenicity. Sixteen (94%) clinical isolates and one (50%) from food produced TDH-like toxin, whereas none of the environmental isolates did so. The food from which V. mimicus with TDH-like toxin production was isolated, was one which had caused food poisoning. Only one environmental strain produced CT-like toxin, whilst ST-like toxin was not detected from any strains tested.
