Vibrio vulnificus, a marine vibrio, has recently been recognized as a potential human pathogen. It causes human infections with mortality rates up to 60%. Until 1991, most human isolations were reported from the USA, Japan and Taiwan. The second strain isolated in Germany is documented and a significant case of V. vulnificus infection acquired in Turkey is published for the first time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
