Abstrakt: A survey was conducted of Vibriospp., Escherichia coli, fecal coliforms, and Salmonellain 644 molluscan shellfish samples marketed in the Apulia region of southern Italy. Vibrios were found in 278 samples (43%), and levels of E. coliand fecal coliforms were above the Italian legal limit in 27 and 34 samples (4 and 5%), respectively. Salmonellawas not detected in any of the samples. Because the majority of the vibrio isolates were found in samples that were compliant with Italian regulations, there appears to be no relationship between the presence of microorganisms of fecal origin and the presence of vibrios potentially harmful to human health.
