V. cholerae has presented us with many surprises in the 1990s. [doi.org]

• Exposure to Contaminated Water

  The pathogenic Vibrio species ( V. cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus, and V. vulnificus ) represent a constant threat to human health, causing foodborne and skin wound infections as a result of ingestion of or exposure to contaminated water and seafood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• High Fever

  However, if the patient is ill and has a high fever or an underlying medical condition, oral antibiotic therapy with doxycycline or a quinolone can be initiated. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Cat Scratch

  The patient gave no history of contact with ocean water immediately before or after the cat scratch episode. The patient did apply commercial sea cucumber oil to the wound; we presume this is the cause of the Vibrio alginolyticus wound infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Orthostatic Hypotension

  The severity of the diarrhea caused the patient to have orthostatic hypotension and acute kidney injury, which improved with fluid resuscitation. The diarrhea resolved in 24-hours, and the patient was discharged without medications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract l-asparaginase is used as a pivotal agent in treatment of lympho proliferative disorders and holds an excessive demand for food processing aids. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Fatality rates of V. vulnificus rival those of Ebola and bubonic plague, so timely treatment is imperative. Current literature favors surgical debridement with a third-generation cephalosporin plus intravenous doxycycline or fluoroquinolone. [doi.org]

Treatment Treatment is not necessary in most cases of V. parahaemolyticus infection. There is no evidence that antibiotic treatment decreases the severity or the length of the illness. [health.state.mn.us]

Once a bloodstream infection occurs, the prognosis is grim: About 50 percent of V. vulnificus bloodstream infections are fatal, according to the Florida Department of Health. [livescience.com]

What's the prognosis? For the most part, a person who acquires an infection will recover and won’t experience any lasting long-term effects. [newsweek.com]

A Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, V.cholerae is the etiological agent of cholera, a severe diarrheal disease that occurs most frequently in epidemic form. [uniprot.org]

More recently identified human pathogens, V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus, are now the predominant etiologies of human infections in developed countries. [frontiersin.org]

Edited by Stanley Falkow, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, and approved September 11, 1998 (received for review June 15, 1998) Abstract Vibrio cholerae, the etiologic agent of the diarrheal disease cholera, is a Gram-negative bacterium that belongs [doi.org]

This perception has had profound effects on all levels of global public health; cholera is now considered to be ineradicable because its etiological agent is ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems ( 3, 5 ). [science.sciencemag.org]

The phenotypic, genetic, and epidemiological characteristics, of these new variants have been reviewed, with particular emphasis on the origin, significance and implications of these strains in the epidemiology of cholera. 12. [horizonpress.com]

Based on diagnostic results, epidemiological information and the clinical outcome, we conclude that the real aetiological agent was A. veronii biovar sobria, while V. parahaemolyticus was only transient in the intestine of the patient. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathogenesis and Pathophysiology For the most part, Vibrio infections occur when individuals/animals ingest contaminated foods or water sources. [microscopemaster.com]

Abstract Lactobacillus strains have been considered good candidates as biological control agents for prevention or treatment of plant and animal infections. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Recent surveillance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates rising annual incidence rates of Vibrio vulnificus infection. [doi.org]
