    Incidence of vibrio cholerae non-01 in seafood from the retail outlets and processing plants of Cochin area, India
    (Cochin University of Science and Technology, 2005) Sindhu, O.K.; Surendran, P.K.
    The incidence of Vibrio cholerae in different fresh fish and fish products from the retail outlets and processing plants of Cochin area, for a period of sixteen months were studied .The detection and isolation was done using TCBS agar as per USFDA method. The cultures isolated were purified and confirmed by biochemical test and polyvalent antisera. From the result it could be observed that all Vibrio cholerae cultures isolated were non -01 (Non agglutinating) type.The incidence is 22.5 %. Comparing to fin fish {11.1 %) high incidence was recorded in sheflfishes like clams (55 %), mussels (33.3 %), shrimps (35.7 %), and crabs (33 %). Antibiotic sensitivity of the cultures towards all the 8 antibiotics, notified by the EU were examined and it was found that all the isolates were sensitive to the antibiotics tested. Frequent isolation of Vibrio cho\erae non 01 coultl indicate that it is a part of the natural flora of the aquatic environments and not necessarily a contamination during handling.

    Motile aeromonads associated with epizootic ulcerative syndrome affected channa striata
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists(India),Cochin, 1998) Prasad, M.M.; Rao, C.C.P.; Surendran, P.K.
    Occurence of motile aeromonads, Aeromonas hydrophila, A.caviae and A. sobria in murrels (Channa striata) affected with Epizootic Ulcerative Syndrome is reported. API 20 NE was found useful with additional confirmatory tests in identification of aeromonads. All three Aeromonas spp. were found sensitive to bacitracin, chloramphenicol, chlortetracycline and tetracycline at 10, 30, 30 and 30 microgram per disc, respectively. The same isolates showed difference in their sensitivity to kanamycin, polymyxin-B and oxytetracycline. The top sediment layer samples collected from different ponds were found to contain aeromanads in the range 2 to 5 log CFU per gram of the sample.
