he main aim of this study is to determine the antibiotic profile of
Vibrio
parahaemolyticus
isolated from fin fishes collected from three major
fish landing sites in Chennai, India. A total of 112 fin fish samples were
screened for Gram-negative halophilic bacterium
V.parahaemolyticus
that
included 30 of Red snapper (
Lutjanus campechenus
), 40 of Indian sardine
(
Sardinella longiceps
) and 42 of Rohu (
Labeo Rohita
) on the skin surface was
compared using commonly used antibiotics. Thirty two samples were found
to be positive. To detect the pathogenicity of the identified isolates Kanagawa
reaction was performed. Among 32 isolates, 5 were found to be positive for
Kanagawa reaction. The
in vitro
susceptibility of
V.parahaemolyticus
was
studied by disk diffusion method using disks contained Doxycycline, Ofloxacin,
Cefazolin, Clindamycin, Gentamycin and Chloramphenicol. The isolated
V.parahaemolyticus
strains showed high degree of sensitive to Doxycycline
and Ofloxacin.

Biography
He received his Bachelor of Science (BSc), in field of clinical
microbiology, from the Punjab technical University, Punjab, in
2010. He completed his Master of Science (MSc), in field of
Microbiology, from the Vinayaga mission University, Salem,
Tamilnadu in 2012 and then he joined as a part-time faculty
of microbiology lecturer at Southern college in Chennai.
Presently he is pursuing PhD research scholar (Part-time) in
field of marine biotechnology at AMET University, Chennai.
His research interest is Antibacterial activity of selected
plant extract against Vibrio pathogen specifically on dosage
formulation and drug resistance pattern analysis and his
research also focusing detailed investigations on safety and
toxicity of the plant extracts to confirm their therapeutic efficacy
in suitable vivo model.
