dc.description.abstractEightyfour strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus consisting of 48 kanagawa-positive and 36 kanagawa-negative strains isolated from finfishes and shellfishes marketed in Kochi were tested for their sensitivity towards eleven antibiotics . Maximum sensitivity was observed towards chloramphenicol (98 .81 %) and gentamycin (97.62%)followed by polymyxin- B(52 .38%), neomycin (46 .43%),tetracycline (23.81%), sulphadiazine (21 .43%), ampicillin (17.86%), kanamycin (11 .9%), streptomycin (11 .9%) and erythromycin (1 .19%) . None of the isolates were found sensitive to penicillin . Among kanagawa-positive strains of V. parahaemolyticus 100% sensitivity were found towards none of the tested anttibiotics, but maximum sensitivity was shown towards chloramphenicol (97.92%) and gentamycin (95 .83%) .All the kanagawa-negative strains of V.parahaemolyticus was found sensitive towards chloramphenicol and gentamycin . Kanagawa-negative strains of V.parahaemolyticus were found to be more sensitive to the tested antibiotics compared to kanagawa- positive strains.en_US
