Of the 148 cockle (Anadara granosa) and 433 shrimp (Paneus indicus) samples examined, 27% and 6.9% were positive for Vibrio vulnificus, respectively. Twenty-nine and 21 isolates from cockles and shrimps were examined for their antibiotic resistance. All isolates showed resistance to one or more of t...
