Vibrio Fact Sheet (PDF 80 KB)

Vibrio organisms can be isolated from cultures of stool, wound, or blood.

A physician should suspect Vibrio infection if a patient presents with gastrointestinal illness, fever, or shock and has eaten raw or undercooked seafood, especially oysters, or when a wound infection occurs after exposure to seawater.
