Of 703 suspect V. parahaemolyticus isolates from TCBS plates, representing oyster, water, and sediment samples, 319 (45%) were confirmed as V. parahaemolyticus . The most common reason for suspect colonies to fail confirmation was their ability to grow in trypticase peptone broth with 10% NaCL When 922 confirmed isolates were tested serologically 72 (7.8%) were typable. The most predominant serotype was 05:K17. Of 2218 confirmed isolates from marine sources only 0.18% were Kanagawa positive.
