Vibrio parahaemolyticus on TCBS |
Colonies of V. parahaemolyticus on TCBS agar. Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a sucrose non-fermenting organism and produces blue-green
colonies.
TCBS agar is green when prepared. Sucrose nonfermenting organisms, such as V. parahaemolyticus, produce green to blue-green colonies. Suspicious colonies for further testing should be subcultured to a noninhibitory medium, such as gelatin agar, heart infusion agar (HIA), Kligler’s iron agar (KIA), or triple sugar iron agar (TSI).
