AB Vibrio,  Aeromonas,  Campylobacter,  and  Helicobacter  are  Gram-negative  rods  that  are  all  widely  distributed  in  nature.  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.
