Key Words: vibrio, seafood, food contamination
Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Species of the genus Vibrio are invariably gram-negative bacilli, between 2 and 3 µm long and curved in shape, sometimes equipped with a single polar flagellum that allows high mobility. They tolerate well alkaline media and high-salt concentrations in their environment. They do not form spores, are oxidase-positive and facultative anaerobes. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of clinically-important species of the genus Vibrio in raw, marinated without heat, partially cooked with heat and completely cooked with heat seafood.
METHODS
This is a study with a quantitative approach. We obtained a list of 38 caterers that specialized in the sale of marine foods of animal origin for human consumption. The number of marine animal foods in those caterers was 790. For homogenization and enrichment of samples and for the isolation and identification of species, we proceeded according to the methodology described in the Bacteriological Analytical Manual. Intervals to estimate a confidence level of 95% were applied.
RESULTS
The prevalence obtained in raw, marinated without heat, partially cooked with heat and completely cooked with heat seafood were 44.30% (276/623), 32.00% (8/25), 30.53% (29/95) and 17.02% (8/47), respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
These results should be taken into consideration when planning to avoid healthcare problems and food-borne diseases in the population that consumes this type of food in the city and port of Progreso de Castro, in Yucatán, Mexico.

INTRODUCCIÓN
Las especies del género Vibrio son bacilos gramnegativos de entre 2 y 3 µm de largo, de forma algo curva, dotados de un único flagelo polar que les permite una elevada movilidad. Soportan bien los medios alcalinos, así como las concentraciones salinas. No forman esporas, son oxidasa positiva y anaerobios facultativos. El objetivo del presente estudio fue estimar las prevalencias de las especies de importancia clínica del género Vibrio en alimentos marinos de origen animal crudos, marinados sin calor, parcialmente cocidos con calor y completamente cocidos con calor.
MÉTODOS
Se trata de un estudio con enfoque cuantitativo. Se obtuvo un listado de 38 establecimientos especializados en la venta de alimentos marinos de origen animal para consumo humano. El número de alimentos marinos de origen animal en dichos establecimientos fue 790. Para la homogeneización y el enriquecimiento de las muestras, así como para el aislamiento y la identificación de las especies, se procedió según la metodología descrita en el Bacteriological Analytical Manual. Se obtuviero intervalos de de confianza de 95% para los porcentajes de incidencia.
RESULTADOS
Las prevalencias obtenidas en alimentos marinos crudos, marinados sin calor, parcialmente cocidos con calor y completamente cocidos con calor fueron 44,30% (276/623), 32,00% (8/25), 30,53% (29/95) y 17,02% (8/47), respectivamente.
CONCLUSIONES
Se considera conveniente tener presentes estos resultados con el objeto de prevenir problemas sanitarios que pudieran en algún momento repercutir en la salud de la población consumidora de la ciudad y puerto de Progreso de Castro, Yucatán, México.
