ABSTRACT
The bacterium, <i>Vibrio parahaemolyticus</i> was isolated from 776 patients at Hat Yai Hospital in Southern Thailand from 2006 to 2010. 51.3–73.6% of the isolates were <i>tdh</i><sup>+</sup> <i>trh</i><sup>−</sup> and Group-specific PCR positive pandemic strains. A comparison of the number of <i>V. parahaemolyticus</i> isolates in this study and that from the same hospital in 2000–2005 indicates that this region of Thailand<i> </i>is endemic for <i>V. parahaemolyticus</i>.
