Abstract

       This survey research is to monitor the contamination of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Staphylococcusaureus and Salmonella spp. in boiled crab meats sold in 10 areas of fresh and fair markets of Bangkok district. From the favorite parts for consumption such as lump meat, special meat, claws meat and legs meat, a total of 50 samples during November 2014 till June 2015 were collected for this study. It was found that 29 out of 50 samples were contaminated (58%) with the amount of 15-1,100,000 MPN/g (1.18-6.04 log MPN/g) or the average of 3.72 ± 0.91 log MPN/g of V. parahaemolyticus and 27 out of 50 samples (54%) were contaminated with the amount of 20-11,000 cfu/g (1.30-4.04 log cfu/g) or the average of 230 ± 0.51 cfu/g of S. aureus. Moreover, Salmonella spp. with 6 serovars was detected in 7 samples (14%). From these results, only the amount of S. aureus (32%) was over the specified criteria, stated Microbiological Qualification Standard of Foods and Container notified by Department of Medical Science No. 2 (2553) under the category of ready to eat food, which is less than 100 cfu/g and V. parahaemolyticus as well as Salmonella spp. shall be non-detectable. Various Vibrio spp. of V. parahaemolyticus (58%), V. cholerae non O1 (18%), V. vulnificus (16%), V. mimicus (12%), V. alginolyticus (10%) and V. fluvialis (4%) were found and identified. Concurrently, serotypes of V. parahaemolyticus were classified by using Denka Seikenkit, Tokyo. The most of O3: KUT serotype was found (20.70%), whereas the genes of tdh and trh (tdh-,trh-) were not detected in all serotypes.
