Description:Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium. It is the etiological agent of cholera, a severe diarrhoeal disease that occurs most frequently in epidemic form. Cholera has been epidemic in southern Asia for at least 1000 years. Vibrio cholerae as a species includes both pathogenic and non pathogenic strains that vary in their virulence and genes content. Vibrio species represent a significant portion of the culturable heterotrophic bacteria of oceans, coastal waters and estuaries. Various species of this genus are also devastating pathogens for finfish, shellfish and mammals.
