• Description:
  This report summarizes human Vibrio isolates reported to CDC in 2001 using the “Reporting Form for Cholera and Other Vibrio Illnesses” form. Results are presented in two categories: V. cholerae isolates that produce cholera toxin (referred to as toxigenic Vibrio cholerae), and all other Vibrio isolates, including those V. cholerae isolates that did not produce cholera toxin. Results are presented separately for Gulf Coast states versus other states to be consistent with previous reports. Additionally, results are presented by anatomic site of isolation. It is important to note that isolation of some Vibrio spp. from a patient with illness does not necessarily indicate causation. While many Vibrio spp. are well-recognized pathogens, the status of V. damsela, V. furnissii, V. metschnikovii, and V. cincinnatiensis as enteric pathogens is less clear.
