UV Influence Over Vibrio Bacterial Species

Abstract

Investigations were focused on the UV effect on V.parahaemolyticus, 
V.vulnificus, V.alginolyticus, V.metschnikovii and V.furnissii. The experiment was performed either on various bacteriological media inseminated with Vibrio germs or on food of animal origin contaminated experimentally. 
Our investigations showed that using a normal bacteriological lamp the Vibrio species may be destroyed over maximum 115 minutes until a 10 cm deep in product. The most resistant species was V.alginolyticus and the less resistant was V.parahaemolyticus.
