===Overview===
*Gram negative bacteria
*Found in aquatic environments
*Opportunistic pathogens of fish, reptiles and rarely mammals
===Characteristics===
*Straight rods
*Catalase and oxidase positive
*Facultative anaerobes
*Motile
*Grow on non-enriched media; NaCl supplementation required for ''Vibrio'' species
*Found in freash water and oral cavity and skin of fish and reptiles
*Tropical and subtropical regions
*Septicaemia in fish, reptiles
*Diarrhoea in harbour seals
*Diarrhoea and neonatal meningitis in humans
===Diagnosis===
*Isolation and identification from lesions
*Widespread in environments
===Treatment===
*Antibiotics including Cephalosporins against ''Aeromonas'' and ''P. shigelloides'' and Gentamicin against ''Vibrio'' species
