Horie Arabinose Ethyl Violet Broth is recommended for enrichment of Vibrio species. Vibrio parahaemolyticus is frequently isolated from coastal waters and seafood in temperate zones throughout the world. V. parahaemolyticus cells are often injured during food processing. Enrichment should involve special media to ensure the optimum recovery of both injured and healthy cells. Horie Arabinose Ethyl Violet Broth (HAE, pH 9.0) can be used for recovering V. parahaemolyticus from refrigerated and frozen oyster homogenates.
