V. cho´lerae (V. com´ma), or cholera vibrio, is the cause of Asiatic cholera; V. metschniko´vii causes gastroenteritis; V. parahaemoly´ticus causes gastroenteritis due to consumption of raw or undercooked seafood; and V. vulni´ficus causes septicemia and cellulitis in persons who have consumed raw seafood.

V. cho´lerae is the etiologic agent of Asiatic cholera; V. metschniko´vii causes gastroenteritis; V. parahaemoly´ticus causes gastroenteritis due to the consumption of raw or improperly cooked seafood (especially in Japan); and V. vulni´ficus causes septicemia and cellulitis in persons who have consumed raw seafood.

noncholera v's a group of microorganisms that are similar to Vibrio cholerae but differ from it immunologically and having variable pathogenic properties. Many that were isolated from water or from the feces of individuals with mild diarrheal disease have been named for the place of their discovery, such as V. danu´bicus, V. ghin´da, and V. massau´ah.

Vibrio

found in the intestine of humans and birds; causes a cholera-like enteritis.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus

found in sea foods; causes enteritis in humans.
