Detection of the<i>tdh</i>and<i>trh</i>genes in<i>Vibrio parahaemolyticus</i>isolates in fish and mussels from Middle Black Sea Coast of Turkey

Abstract

This study confirmed the previous reports that characterization of potential pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus isolates based on the PCR techniques was reliable and cost-effective. These results suggest that molecular detection methods should be included in Turkish Standards of seafood control in addition to bacteriological methods.
