  • Title: Bacterial enteropathogens in Malaysian shellfish.
    Author: Jegathesan M, Wah LT, Soon LE, Su Har D, Boo Liat L.
    Journal: Trop Geogr Med; 1976 Jun; 28(2):91-5. PubMed ID: 788266.
    Abstract:
    Three species of commonly eaten shellfish found in Malaysian coastal waters were examined for the presence of common bacterial enteropathogens. Vibrio parahaemolyticus, non-agglutinating vibrios, and various serotypes of enteropathogenic E. coli were isolated from a large proportion of them. Salmonella were isolated in two instances. High colony counts with evidence of faecal contamination indicated the strong possibility of pulltion being the cause for the presence of these enteropathogens. Methods of cooking and eating these shellfish enhance their likelihood of acting as vehicles of diarrhoeal disease.
