- For a patient with a suspected V. parahaemolyticus infection, the diagnostic method of choice is obtaining a stool culture. It is best to choose a selective medium for culture. V. parahaemolyticus grows particularly well on Thiosulfate Citrate Bile-salts Sucrose (TCBS). The bacteria can also demonstrate hemolysis as well as urease positivity.

Aug 10, 2022 · TCBS Agar is used for the isolation of Vibrio cholerae and other enteropathologic Vibrio (in particular Vibrio parahaemolyticus) in fish, seafood and biological samples of animal origin. TCBS agar has also been used to control outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns seastar ( Acanthaster planci ).

Vibrio parahaemolyticus (ATCC® 17802) colonies growing on TCBS Agar (Cat. no. G55). Incubated aerobically for 24 hours at 35ºC. Escherichia coli (ATCC® 25922) growth inhibited on TCBS Agar (Cat. no. G55). Incubated aerobically for 24 hours at 35ºC.
Thiosulfate–citrate–bile salts–sucrose agar, or TCBS agar, is a type of selective agar culture plate that is used in microbiology laboratories to isolate Vibrio species. TCBS agar is highly selective for the isolation of V. cholerae and V. parahaemolyticus as well as other Vibrio species.
Dec 10, 2014 · The most common selective media is thiosulphate citrate bile salts sucrose (TCBS), a highly selective differential medium that is widely used not only for Vibrio cholerae but all other pathogenic Vibrios except Vibrio hollisae (Kobayashi et al., 1963). TCBS is a selective system consisting of ox bile (0.8%), NaCl (1%) and alkaline pH 8.6 which ...
Nov 8, 2016 · In the genus Vibrio, V. parahaemolyticus is responsible for the majority of Vibrio -associated infections. Thus, accurate differentiation among Vibrio spp. and detection of V. parahaemolyticus is critically important to ensure the safety of our food supply.
Mar 5, 2015 · Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a Gram-negative motile bacterium that inhabits marine and estuarine environments throughout the world, is a major food-borne pathogen that causes life-threatening diseases in humans after the consumption of raw or undercooked seafood.
