Microbiological Tests - Search for Vibrio spp (Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio cholerae)

Vibrio is a ubiquitous genus of bacteria found in a wide variety of aquatic and marine habitats. Some strains of this bacterium cause infections in humans. Vibrio cholerae causes a serious diarrheal disease (cholera) that can be quickly fatal if left untreated and is typically transmitted through contaminated water and person-to-person contact. Non-cholera Vibrio spp (eg vibrio parahaemolyticus) causes vibriosis. These are infections that are normally transmitted through exposure to seawater or consuming raw or undercooked contaminated seafood.

Treatment of Vibrio spp infection largely depends on the causative pathogen. For example, rehydration therapy is required for vibrio cholerae infection, and antibiotic therapy for severe cholera and systemic infections. Cholera is a preventable disease and effective oral cholera vaccines are available. But natural or man-made events that contaminate drinking water or compromise access to safe water and sanitation sometimes trigger epidemics.

In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. These studies are based on the latest technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and modern methods. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are microbiological tests - search services for vibrio spp (vibrio parahaemolyticus and vibrio cholerae).
