Application of an immunomagnetic enrichment method selective for
Vibrio parahaemolyticus serovar K6 allowed isolation of a strain belonging to the pandemic O3:K6 clone of V. parahaemolyticus from fresh shellfish not implicated in a
clinical case in southern Thailand. Arbitrarily primed PCR profiles of
this strain, clinical O3:K6 strains isolated from sporadic diarrhea
cases in the same area, and a standard pandemic O3:K6 strain were indistinguishable.
