Abstract: | Twenty-three V. parahaemolyticus strains, including 12 pandemic O3:K6 strains, were examined for their growth and production of thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH) under an anaerobic culture condition with or without presence of a bile acid, taurocholic acid (TCA). Both bacterial growth and TDH production were markedly enhanced by TCA for a majority of the strains, but the scale of the TDH production was disproportionately greater than that of the corresponding growth for 14 strains. Such enhancement was, however, not specific to the pandemic strains. Received: 27 August 2001 / Accepted: 15 October 2001 |
