Abstract
Application of an immunomagnetic enrichment method selective for Vibrio par ahaemolyticus serovar K6 allowed isolation of a strain belonging to the pan demic O3:K6 clone of V. parahaemolyticus from fresh shellfish not implicate d in a clinical case in southern Thailand. Arbitrarily primed PCR profiles of this strain, clinical O3:K6 strains isolated from sporadic diarrhea case s in the same area, and a standard pandemic O3:K6 strain were indistinguish able.
