 Vibrios requiring a higher concentration of
sodium chloride
 natural inhabitants of sea water and marine
life
 V. parahaemolyticus, Vibrio alginolyticus,V.
vulnificus - important halophilic vibrios
species known to cause infection in humans
 important cause of seafood-associated gas
troenteritis throughout the world
 differs from V. cholerae by having a capsule
showing bipolar staining and pleomorphism
 it has polar flagella when grown in liquid
culture, but shows peritrichous flagella
whengrown on solid media.
 salt concentration : up to 8%
 Growth characters:
 Mac:nonlactose- fermenting colonies
Blood agar:beta-hemolytic colonies
TCBS:nonsucrose-fermenting green colonies
 oxidase  positive
 Catalase - positive
Antigens:
 somatic O antigens,
 flagellar H antigens,
 capsular K antigen.
Serotyping is based on O and K antigen.
Virulence factors:
 Thermostable direct hemolysin is the key
virulence factor of V. parahaemolyticus.
 This is found only in strains that are
pathogenic to human beings.
Kanagawa phenomenon
 Pathogenic strains of V. parahaemolyticus
when grown on a special high-salt mannitol
medium (Wagatsuma agar) show hemolysis
on blood agar
 Nonpathogenic strains isolated from
environment that do not cause any hemolysis
Habitat:
 is widely distributed in estuary and marine
environments.
 Seafood, such as fish, crabs, or oysters, is
the main source and reservoir of infection.
 The infection is acquired on consumption of
contaminated seafood.
Clinical manifestations:
 in humans causes gastroenteritis
 severity of the condition can vary from mild self-
limited diarrhea to an acute illness
 nausea,vomiting, abdominal pain, and low-grade
fever, which may be present for 3 days
 Stool usually does not contain any blood or
mucus, but contains cellular exudates
Extraintestinal infections:
 wound infections and ear and eye infections
 in individuals exposed to contaminated sea
water
 V. alginolyticus is widely distributed in sea
water and seafood.
 high salt tolerance and can grow even in the
presence of 10% sodium chloride
 TCBS agar: large yellow sucrose-fermenting
colonies.
 shows swarming on the surface of
nonselective medium, such as blood agar
 associated with infections of superficial
wounds exposed to contaminated sea water
 has been associated with infections of the
gastrointestinal tract, ear, and eye.

 formerly known as L vibrio,or Benekea

 TCBS: produces green nonsucrose-

colonies on TCBS medium
 differs from V. parahaemolyticus and other
Vibrio species by its ability to ferment lactose
Virulence:
 more virulent bacterium than
V.parahaemolyticus.
 capsule
 hydrolytic enzymes, such as cytolysins,
proteases, and collagenases
 resistant to complement- and antibody-
mediated lysis
Clinical manifestations:
 wound infection and
 gastroenteritis rapidly progressing to
septicemia
Wound infections:
 caused by contaminated sea water
 short incubation period of 324 hours
 wounds are usually present on the fingers,
palms, or soles of the feet
 rapidly progresses to necrosis, gangrene,or
necrotizing fasciitis
Gastroenteritis:
 following the consumption of raw seafood on
exposure
 rapidly progresses to septicaemia
 manifests as multiple hemorrhagic bullae and
extensive ecchymosis distributed on the
lower extremities
 Hypotension , oliguria and noncardiogenic
pulmonary edema
 V. vulnificus produces life-threatening illness,
 immediate and prompt treatment with
antibiotics is essential.
 Tetracyclines or aminoglycosides are the
antibiotics of choice
 The condition is prevented by avoidance of
raw and undercooked seafood.
PSEUDOMONAS
 A large group of aerobic, non sporing
gram negative bacteria motile by polar
flagella
 Found in water, soil, other moist
environments
 Some of them are pathogenic to plants
21
Classification
 Based on rRNA  DNA homology groups
Five ribosomal RNA groups
 Based on Phenotypic characters
Seven groups  Fluroscent, stutzeri, alcaligens,
pseudomallei, acidovorans, facilis & diminuta
 Gram negative bacteria
 Size 1.5  3 x 0.5 袖 m
 Actively motile by polar flagella
 Produces extracellular polysaccharide k/a
alginate
 Obligate aerobe
 Grows at a temp range of 6 - 420 C
 Produces colonies with distinctive musty,
mawkish or earthy smell.
Growth on Blood agar -
colonies are moist flat, irregular edges,
greenish pigmented, showing zone of
hemolysis

Prevention and Control
Pseudomonas spp. normally inhabit soil, water, and vegetation
and can be isolated from the skin, throat, and stool of healthy
persons.
Spread is mainly via contaminated sterile equipment's and
cross-contamination of patients by medical personnel.
High risk population: patients receiving broad-spectrum
antibiotics, with leukemia, burns, cystic fibrosis, and
immunosuppression.
Methods for control of infection are similar to those for other
nosocomial pathogens. Special attention should be paid to sinks,
water baths, showers, hot tubs, and other wet areas.
