Zusammenfassung

Zwei Stämme vonVibrio parahaemolyticus wurden aus Stuhlproben eines Patienten isoliert, der 20 Stunden nach Genuß importierter und ungenügend gekochter Muscheln an einer Enteritis erkrankte. Dies ist der erste dokumentierte Fall einer in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland erworbenen Enteritis durch diese Erreger.
