ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a reaction medium forcholerae-groupVibrio(cholerae/vulnificusandmimicus) andVibrio parahaemolyticusbacteria, comprisinga substrate for detecting a β-galactosidase enzymatic activity,a sugar,a coloured indicator.The invention also relates to the use of this medium for isolating and identifyingcholerae-groupVibrio(cholerae/vulnificusandmimicus) andVibrio parahaemolyticus.Finally, the invention relates to a method for identifyingVibrio choleraeandVibrio parahaemolyticusbacteria, according to which beta-galactosidase activity is detected for identifyingVibrio choleraeand the acidification of a sugar is detected for revealingVibrio parahaemolyticus.
