الملخص

Vibrio species are significant pathogens in marine environments, often associated with seafood-borne illnesses in humans. This study aimed to isolate and identify Vibrio species from freshly caught common pandora (Pagellus erythrinus) fish. A total of 145 samples collected from Tripoli, Tajoura, and Janzour ports in the Libyan western coast during spring and summer seasons 2023. Swabs were taken from fish samples and cultured on Thiosulfate Citrate Bile Salts Sucrose agar (TCBS). Bacterial colonies were further identified using biochemical tests with the API20 kit. Vibrio spp. were isolated from 70 samples (48.3% prevalence), with V. fluvialis (50%), V. alginolyticus (30%), and V. cholera (20%) being the most prevalent species. These findings highlight the potential public health risks associated with consuming fish with Vibrio contamination and emphasize the need for improved seafood safety measures.
