Abstract
Enteropathogenic strains of
Vibrio parahaemolyticus
were isolated from shrimps, Penaeus monodon collected from the region of the Deltaic Sundarbans (West Bengal, India). About 63% of the isolated
strains were resistant to ampicillin, cephalexin, and kanamycin. However, all these strains were sensitive to nitrofurantoin, nalidixic acid, tetracycline, and norfloxacin. The isolated strains were resistant
to Ni
2+]
(75%), Cu
2+
(87%), and Co
2+
(37%), but all the strains were resistant against Cd
2+
, Zn
2+
, and Pb
2+
at 10 mM concentration.
