RESUMO
OBJECTIVE To study the pathogenicity of the Vibrio fluvialis isolated from the coastal seawater.METHODS Virulence experiment group:22 Kunming mice were divided into four subgroups in random:V.fluvialis was injected into abdominal cavity in the test subgroup.And Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were injected into the positive control subgroups,separately and aseptic physiological saline was injected into the negative control group.Wound infection group:22 SPF mice were divided into four supgroups in random after their legs were injured:the experimental supgroup(soaked in artificial seawater with V.fluvialis);the positive control groups(with S.aureus and E.coli,separately);the negative control group(soaked in aseptic artificial seawater).The general condition,blood routine,blood culture,organ culture and wound secretion culture of the mice were observed.The pathological analysis of the mice was taken after sacrifice on the 3rd day.RESULTS In virulence experiment group,among all the 7 mice′s blood culture of V.fluvialis supgroup,5 mice were found V.fluvialis positive after 12 h injection,and 2 mice kept on positive until 24 h.In wound infection group,pathological examination showed there were a large number of neutrophils distributed over the striated muscle of the injured sites and cellulitis formed.CONCLUSIONS The V.fluvialis isolated from the sea water has pathogenicity,and can cause wound) infection and septicemia when the concentration reached 106 CFU/ml.
