Bivalve mollusks and crustaceans are natural reservoirs of Vibrio species and, if eaten raw or under-cooked, carry the risk of causing foodborne disease. This study compares the Thermo Scientific™ SureTect™ Vibrio cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus PCR Assay for detection of target strains from mollusks and crustaceans to another commercially available PCR assay for Vibrio.
