===Overview===
*Gram negative bacteria
*Found in aquatic environments
*Opportunistic pathogens of fish, reptiles and rarely mammals
*''Vibrio cholerae'' causes cholera in humans, a severe enteric disease
===Characteristics===
*Curved rods
*Catalase and oxidase positive
*Facultative anaerobes
*Motile
*Grow on non-enriched media; NaCl supplementation required for ''Vibrio'' species
*Found in salt water
*Enteric diseases in humans
*''Vibrio metschnikovii'' causes enteric disease in chickens
*''Listonella anguillarum'' skin lesions and septicaemia in fish and eels
===Diagnosis===
*Isolation and identification from lesions
*Widespread in environments
===Treatment===
*Antibiotics including Gentamicin against ''Vibrio'' species
