A total of 40 raw shrimp batches were collected from retails markets (supermarket and street). All 133 test strains were isolated from 40 shrimp samples. <em>V. parahaemolyticus</em> was the most common species (87.5%), followed by <em>V. navarrensis</em> (60%), <em>V. alginolyticus </em>(52.5%), <em>V. cholerae</em> non-O1 (37.5%), <em>V. vulnificus</em> (22.5%), and <em>V. fluvialis</em> (10%). <em>Vibrio</em> spp. isolates were susceptible to 12 antimicrobial agents. The prevalence of ampicillin resistance was highest (82.7%), followed by cotrimoxazole (18.8%) and 3<sup>rd</sup> generation cephalosporins (16.5% cefotaxime and 8.3% ceftazidime). Extended spectrum <em>β</em> lactamase (ESBL) activity was detected in 28.1% <em>V. parahaemolyticus</em> isolates. None of <em>tdh</em> or <em>trh </em>virulence genes were detected. The results of this study indicated the presentation of <em>Vibrio</em> species in shrimp samples purchased in Ho Chi Minh City. Therefore, our results could be of great potential for the identification of <em>Vibrio</em> infection in shrimp samples taken from different regions to improve food quality and safety.  </p>}, number={3}, journal={The Journal of Agriculture and Development}, author={Huynh, Trinh Thi Ngoc and Vo, An Thi Tra and Nguyen, Yen Thi Phuong and Nguyen, Cuong Van}, year={2019}, month={Jun.}, pages={27-34} }
