제주도내 주요 해안지역인 화북, 삼양, 대포, 중문, 표선, 안덕, 애월, 곽지에서 생산되는 해수, 갯벌, 해산물 등에서 2002년 1월부터 12월까지 V. parahaemolyticus 분포상황을 조사하였다 가검물은 총 2,880건으로 각각 해수 960건, 갯벌 960건, 해산물 960건이었으며, 분리된 V. parahaemolyticus에 대하여 생화학적, 혈청학적 실험을 실시하였다. 총가검물 2,880건에 대한 분리 동정에서 417건(14.5%)이 분리되었다. 0.85% NaCl용액을 희석 액으로 사용하여 API 20E kit를 이용한 V. parahaemolyticus 100균주의 중요한 생화학적 특성은 전 균주가 lysine, ornithine, indole, glucose, mannitol은 양성반응을 보였고, ONPG, arginine, Sodium citrate, $H_2S$, urea, tryptophane, VP, inositol, sorbitol, rhamnose, sucrose, melibiose 반응에서 음성반응을 보였고, gelatin, amygdalin, arabinose 반응에서 음성 혹은 양성반응을 보였다. 검체별 분리율은 해수가 960건 중 161건(16.8%), 갯벌이 960건 중 137건(14.3%), 해산물이 960건 중 119건(12.4%)이었다. 지역별 분리율은 화북 14.4%(52/360), 삼양 15.3%(55/360), 대포 13.6%(49/360), 중문 18.3%(66/360), 표선 13.1%(47/360), 안덕 16.4% (59/360), 애월 12.5% (45/360), 곽지 12.2% (44/360)이었다. 분리된 V. parahaemolyticus 417균주를 대상으로 지역별, 검체별 분포를 조사한 결과 중문 지역이 18.3%(66/360)로 가장 높았고, 검체별로는 해수가 16.8% (161/960)로 가장 높았다.
A study on the distribution of V. parahaemolyticus among sea water, sea mud, and marine products in Hwabuk, Samyang, Daepo, Jungmun, Pyoson, Anduk, Aewol, and Gwakji on the coastal area of Jeju island was conducted from January to December in 2002. The 2,880 total specimens of 960 sea waters, 960 sea mud, 960 marine products were collected and studied for the rate of isolation of V. parahaemolyticus, and biochemical, serological and antibiotic sensitivity tests were performed. A total of 417 strains of V. parahaemolyticus were isolated and identified from 2,880 total specimens. In the test of biochemical properties, 100 of V. parahaemolyticus isolates in the presence of 0.85% NaCl were positive in the utilization of lysine, ornithine, indole, glucose, and mannitol, and negative in the utilization of ONPG, arginine, sodium citrate, urea, tryptophane, inositol, sorbitol, rhamnose, sucrose, and melibiose, $H_2S$ production and VP reaction, while positive or negative in gelatin liquefaction and utilization of amygdalin or arabinose. The isolation rates to the specimen were 161 strains (16.8%) from 960 of sea waters, 137 strains (14.3%) from 960 of sea mud, and 119 strains (12.4%) from 960 of marine products. The isolation rates of V. parahaemolyticus from 8 coastal areas were 14.4% (52/360) in Hwabuk area, 15.3% (55/360) in Samyang area, 13.6% (49/360) in Daepo area, 18.3% (66/360) Jungmun area, 13.1% (47/360) in Pyosun area, 16.4% (59/360) in Anduk area, 12.5% (45/360) in Aewol area and 12.2% (44/360) in Gwakji area, respectively. The distribution of 417 V. parahaemolyticus, isolates was high at Jungmun with 18.3% (66/360), and from sea water with 16.8% (161/960).
