| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In globalized age of foods, food safety is one of the most important issues. In this study of the food safety, I focused on foodborne pathogen in seafood. I researched contamination by both Vibrio parahaemolyticus and its virulent strain on seafood in Southeast Asian countries.
The seafood has high frequency of the contamination by V. parahaemolyticus and its virulent strain in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam. I concerned about epidemic of V. parahaemolyticus infection in these area. In addition, I developed multiplex PCR modified to detect both V. parahaemolyticus and its virulent strain.
