Summary of human Vibrio isolates reported to CDC, 2008
Details:
-
Description:This report summarizes human Vibrio infections during 2008 reported by states to CDC. Results are presented in the following 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 do not produce cholera toxin. Additionally, results are presented by specimen type. It is important to note that isolation of some Vibrio species from a patient with illness does not necessarily indicate causation. While many Vibrio species are well-recognized pathogens, the status of V. damsela, V. furnissii, V. metschnikovii, and V. cincinnatiensis as enteric or wound pathogens is less clear.
