Vibrio parahaemolyticus is one of the most important food-borne pathogens in Taiwan, Japan, and other countries with long coastlines. This paper reports on the development of a new random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method for the molecular typing of this pathogen. The 10-mer primer 284 (5'-CAG GCG CAC A-3') was selected to generate polymorphic amplification profiles of the genomic DNA at an annealing temperature of 38 degrees C. A total of 308 clinical isolates of V. parahaemolyticus collected during food poisoning outbreaks in Taiwan, mostly occurring between 1993 and 1995, plus 11 environmental and clinical reference strains were analyzed by this RAPD method. A total of 41 polymorphic RAPD patterns were recognized, and these patterns were arbitrarily grouped into 16 types (A to P). Types A, B, C, D, and E were the major types, and subtypes C3, C5, E1, B1, D2, and A2 were the major patterns. The major types were phylogenetically more closely related to each other than to any of the minor types.
