Vibrio identification

V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus and V. cholerae genic bacteria, which can cause serious seafood poisoning. For the detection of those bacteria, conventional methods (TCBS) are long, require a heavy workload and are not very sensitive.

On the contrary, the medium CHROMagar Vibrio helps to easily differentiate V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus and V. cholerae from other Vibrio directly at the isolation step by colony colour with a sensitivity higher than conventional methods.

V. parahaemolyticus colonies are mauve, V. vulnificus and V. choleare appear as blue colonies, while V. alginolyticus colonies are colourless.

This medium is selective against most major enterobacteriaceae and Gram positive bacteria.
