Abstract:

Objective To investigate the virulence genes,type Ⅲ secretion system(T3SS) and drug resistance of Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated from patients with diarrhea in Ningbo. Methods A total of 49 isolates of Vibrio parahaemolyticus were isolated from feces specimens of patients with diarrhea. The virulence genes,tdh,trh and T3SS1,T3SS2,were determined by polymerase chain reaction(PCR). The drug susceptibility of 17 kinds of antibiotics were determined by disk diffusion assay. Results Among the 49 isolates of Vibrio parahaemolyticus,48 isolates carried tdh. There was 1 isolate carrying trh,47 isolates showed tdh(+)trh(-),1 isolate showed tdh(+)trh(+),and 1 isolate showed tdh(-)trh(-). The 49 isolates carried T3SS1 gene,47 isolates carried T3SS2α gene,and 1 isolate carried T3SS2β gene. The drug resistance rate to ampicillin was 75.5%. The drug susceptibility rates were high to the 3rd generation cephalosporins and aminoglycoside tetracyclines. All the isolates were sensitive to cefepimes,levofloxacins and carbapenems(imipenem and meropenem),and the drug susceptibility rates were 100%. Conclusions The carrying rates of virulence genes of Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated from patients with diarrhea in Ningbo are high. The drug susceptibility rates are high to common antibiotics,and it should also pay attention to monitoring drug resistance rate and guiding rational antibiotic use in clinic.
