Inhibitory Effect of Glycerin on Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Salmonella

Department of Bacteriology, School of Medicine, and Division of Veterinary Medicine, Agricultural College, Kyungpook National University, Taegu, Korea

ABSTRACT

In a study of the effect of glycerin in transport media on Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Salmonella, it was found that a concentration of 30% glycerin was highly inhibitory for V. parahaemolyticus and to a lesser degree for Salmonella. The incorporation of peptone or human feces in media did not reduce the inhibitory effect of glycerin. In media with 15% glycerin, viable counts of V. parahaemolyticus and Salmonella increased after 24 hr of incubation both in the presence and absence of feces. Due to the concurrent increase in the total bacterial count in the media containing feces, no enrichment effect was noted.
