[Halophilic Black Sea vibrios and their role in human pathology].
During the period of 4 years 558 halophil vibrio strains (258 V. parahaemolyticus strains and 300 V. angiolyticus strains) were isolated from the water and from the representatives of the hydrobios of the Black Sea. The vibrios were isolated the whole year round, but during the winter and spring months their lowest concentration in water was observed, while in September-October it reached its maximum. During these 4 years 102 cases of gastroenteric diseases were registered, and in some of the patients halophil vibrios were isolated. In most cases the diseases developed after the consumption of sea fish and other sea products, as well as salted vegetables. The diseases had mainly a sporadic character. 90% of the strains isolated from humans belonged to serotypes O4 : K12 and O4 : K8; besides, the presence of serotypes O3 : K33, O3 : K57, O5 : K47, O6 : K46 and O10 : K52 was revealed.
