Abstract

Using the 8 strains of Vibrio vulnificus isolated from the patients with primary sepsis, the viability of Vibrio vulnificus were studied in the various range of hydrogen ion concentration. The opitimal pH range of growth was 7-9, and survived between pH 3. 6 and 12. 5 when incubated at 37C for one hour.
