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.
