Vibrio is a genus of comma shaped Gram-negative bacteria responsible for number of foodborne infections often associated with undercooked seafood. Use 0129 Discs as a rapid and simple method for differentiation of vibrios from other Gram-negative rods.
• Rapid Results
• Simple and ready-to-use in cartridge format
• Can be used in differentiation ofVibrioThe degree of sensitivity of vibrios to 0129 can also be used as a diagnostic feature in differentiation of Vibrio species.
• parahaemolyticus – (10μg) Resistant – (150μg) Sensitive

• cholerae 0139 – (10μg) Resistant – (150μg) Resistant
• cholerae 01 – (10μg) Resistant – (150μg) Resistant
• cholerae – (10μg) Sensitive – (150μg) Sensitive
• cholera spp – (10μg) Sensitive – (150μg) Sensitive
• vulnificus – (10μg) Sensitive – (150μg) SensitiveNegative 0129 tests must be interpreted with caution. Strains of Vibrio cholerae resistant to 0129 and trimethoprim have been reported^2. Both plasmids and transposons appear to be responsible^3.Specialised sensitivity testing media which contain low levels of sodium chloride should not be used as these may give poor growth of halophilic vibrios and may also give false positive results with Enterobacteriaceae^4. Nutrient Agar CM0003 can be recommended for such testing.Not all products are available for sale in all territories.
