Application of an immunomagnetic enrichment method selective forVibrio parahaemolyticus serovar K6 allowed isolation of a strain belonging to the pandemic O3:K6 clone ofV. parahaemolyticus from fresh shellfish not implicated in a clinical case in southern Thailand. Arbitrarily primed PCR profiles of this strain, clinical O3:K6 strains isolated from sporadic diarrhea cases in the same area, and a standard pandemic O3:K6 strain were indistinguishable.
