<p>ISO/TS 21872-2:2007 specifies a horizontal method for detection of the enteropathogenic <i>Vibrio </i>species, causing illness in or via the intestinal tract, other than <i>Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio cholerae.</i> The species detectable by the methods specified include <i>Vibrio fluvialis</i>, <i>Vibrio mimicus</i> and <i>Vibrio vulnificus.</i> It is not suitable for the isolation of <i>Vibrio hollisae</i>. Strains of <i>V. parahaemolyticus </i>and <i>V. cholerae </i>may also be detected during the application of this method.</p>
<p>ISO/TS 21872-2:2007 is applicable to products intended for human consumption and the feeding of animals, and environmental samples in the area of food production and food handling.</p>
<p>This method is not appropriate for the detection of <i>Vibrio metschnikovii</i> as this is oxidase negative. </p>
