Incidence of marine bdellovibrios lytic against Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Chesapeake Bay

Abstract
The incidence of marine bdellovibrios at selected sampling sites in the Chesapeake Bay during June 1978 and 1979 was studied. Bdellovibrios were isolated from 8 of 9 sampling stations in the bay. Higher numbers than previously reported with sea or ocean water were recovered in the midregion of the bay.
