[Microbial survey of bacterial contamination of shellfish products in Wenzhou].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the status of bacterial contamination in the shellfish products in Wenzhou.


METHODS
One hundred samples were collected and their bacterial populations including the total plate count were investigated.


RESULTS
Of the 100 samples collected, 67 samples failed to not meet the national regulations due to bacterial contamination, accounting for 67% of the total samples. Among the contaminated samples, the most serious contamination was caused by coliforms (61.4% of the total plate count with contamination), followed by Salmonella (18.6%), Vibio parahaemolyticus (15.7%), Listeria spp. (4.3%) and others (6%).


CONCLUSIONS
Microbial pollution has become a threat to the marine shellfish products in Wenzhou.
