AB  - Vibrios  other  than  V  cholerae  that  cause  human  disease  are  Vibrio  parahaemolyticus,  V  vulnificus,  and  V  alginolyticus.  All  are  halophilic  marine  organisms.  Infection  is  acquired  by  exposure  to  organisms  in  contaminated,  undercooked,  or  raw  crustaceans  or  shellfish  and  warm  (greater  than  20°C  [82.4°F])  ocean  waters  and  estuaries.  Infections  are  more  common  during  the  summer  months  from  regions  along  the  Atlantic  coast  and  the  Gulf  of  Mexico  in  the  United  States  and  from  tropical  waters  around  the  world.  Oysters  are  implicated  in  up  to  90%  of  food-related  cases.  V  parahaemolyticus  causes  an  acute  watery  diarrhea  with  crampy  abdominal  pain  and  fever,  typically  occurring  within  24  hours  after  ingestion  of  contaminated  shellfish.  The  disease  is  self-limited,  and  antimicrobial  therapy  is  usually  not  necessary.  V  parahaemolyticus  may  also  cause  cellulitis  and  sepsis,  though  these  findings  are  more  characteristic  of  V  vulnificus  infection.
