Abstract

To investigate the prevalence, virulence, serotype, antibiotic resistance and genetic relationship of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the aquaculture products in Shanghai, Penaeus vannamei, Ctenopharyngodon idellus, Carassius auratus and Eriocheir sinensis, as well as their aquaculture water and sediment, were collected from different farms in Shanghai inform 2020 to 2021. V. parahaemolyticus was isolated according to the National Standard GB 4789.7—2013 and PCR was used to detect thermolabile hemolysin gene (tlh), heat-resistant direct hemolysin gene (tdh), heat-resistant-related hemolysin gene (trh), Photorhabdus insect-related toxin gene (pirA) that associated with acute hepatopancreas necrosis. Multiplex PCR was used to detect serotypes. The micro-broth dilution and Enterobacter repeat intergenic consensus sequence PCR (ERIC-PCR) were used to detect antimicrobial susceptibility and genetic relationship, respectively. V. parahaemolyticus was detected in 72 of the total 234 samples (30.8%) and the pollution of P. vannamei was the most serious (78.4%). The seasonal temperature significantly affected the abundance of V. parahaemolyticus, and the pollution rate was 51.4% in summer. None of the isolates possessed pathogenic genes tdh, trh and pirA. The distribution of serotypes was diverse and the most prevalent serotype was O1 (66.7%). Seventy-two V. parahaemolyticus strains were all resistant to ampicillin and sulfamethoxazole, more than 70% strains were resistant to cefazolin and erythromycin, and 18.1% strains were resistant to sulfamethoxazole-trimoxazole. The rate of intermediate-resistance or resistance to imipenem, cefotaxime, cefepime, chloramphenicol and kanamycin was less than 5%. ERIC-PCR clusters were dispersed and showed high genetic diversity. The results of this study provide data support for the quality and safety of aquatic products in Shanghai.
