VIBRIO PARAHAEMOLYTICUS SUCROSE AGAR (as per APHA) (VPSA)

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a halophilic estuarine organism. This organism can be isolated from a variety of seafood products and marine environments. The organism, when isolated from fresh seafood, is usually found in low numbers (< 100/g) and is sensitive to refrigeration and heat. Vibrio parahaemolyticus Sucrose Agar is recommended by APHA for isolating and enumerating V. parahaemolyticus from seafoods. It is a differential medium (and also selective to some extent) that distinguishes V. parahaemolyticus from other marine Vibrios. This medium is employed in the final steps of Hydrophobic Grid Membrane Filtration enumeration procedure.
