More information: Vibrio is a genus of bacteria found in a wide variety of aquatic and marine habitats; of the >100 described Vibrio species, ~12 cause infections in humans. Vibrio cholerae can cause cholera, a severe diarrheal disease that can be quickly fatal if untreated. Noncholera Vibrio species cause vibriosis — infections normally acquired through exposure to sea water or through consumption of raw or undercooked contaminated seafood.
