The vibrios are found in marine and surface waters. Aeromonads are inhabitants of aquatic ecosystems, worldwide, and are found in fresh and brackish waters. The campylobacters are found in many species of animals, including many domesticated animals. Helicobacters are found in the gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary tracts of humans and various other mammals (eg, dogs, cats, cattle, and dolphins), as well as chickens and wild birds. Vibrio cholerae produces an enterotoxin that causes cholera, a profuse watery diarrhea that can rapidly lead to dehydration and death. Campylobacter jejuni is a common cause of enteritis in humans. Helicobacter pylori is associated with gastritis and duodenal ulcer disease.
