The ecological survey and comparative investigations of the pathogenicity of V. parahaemolyticus derived from many sources were made.
Results obtained are as follows:
1) The detection rate of V. parahaemolyticus subgroup 1 was calculated as 6% from the sea-water, sea-mud and plankton samples tested and as 34% from the marine products specimen in fish's shops.
2) Most of the marine source strains showed positive results by the De-test, but a few showed questionable consequences, while all the strain isolated from patients always showed positive results.
3) It is considered that the marine source organisms classified in subgroup 1 of V. Parahaemolyticus are also essentially pathogenic.
4) The strain classified as V. anguillarum, which resembling to those of V. parahaemolyticus subgroup 1, always showed negative results by the De-test and the pathogenicity of these organisms against mice were considerably weak.
