“…Under routine isolation procedures, such organisms may be overlooked unless a suitable milieu is provided. Although morphologically similar to the type species of the genus Vibrio, V. cholerae (Park, 1961), the microaerophilic vibrios have been shown to differ from it in DNA base ratios and in other respects and have consequently been placed in a separate genus, Campylobacter (Sebald & V6ron, 1963). The best known of these microaerophilic vibrios is C. fetus (Vibrio fetus) (Smith & Taylor, 1919).…”

SUMMARYCampylobacter fetus was isolated from five recent cases of human vibriosis, of which two were adults and three were children. One adult presented with pericarditis and the other with recurrent pyrexia. Campylobacterfetus subsp. intestinalis which resembled cattle strains serologically, was isolated under C02 or anaerobic conditions from blood cultures of these patients. Two of the three children had kwashiorkor and the third was only 8 days old. Isolates identified as Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni were cultured from blood of these patients, two of whom had diarrhoea. Three patients succumbed, despite adequate antibiotic therapy. The

“…In this study we have applied a large number and variety of simple tests to a small number of bacterial strains representing all but two (Vihio fetus, see Park, 1961 b, and V. metschnikovii) of the so-called vibrios available in the National Collection of Industrial Bacteria and National Collection of Type Cultures. Although the results obtained by the two authors differ in details, the classification of strains derived from these two independent studies is the same, Tables 1 and 2 show how the strains were analysed into groups; the first group in each table represents what we consider to be true members of the genus Vibrio, the second (strain 8194) exhibits characters typical of Pseztdorpumas Jlzcorescens, while the third group is comprised of strains that we regard as representatives of the genus named Lophomonas by Galarneault & Leifson (1956).…”

SUMMARYTwenty-five strains currently classified into 14 serological types or species of the genus Vibrio obtained from the NCIB and NCTC have been studied in detail for morphological, cultural and biochemical characters in two independent studies. The results indicate that these strains include members of three distinct taxonomic groups or genera, Vibrio, Pseudomolzas and Cornamonas. The new generic name Comamolzas, type species C. pmcolang, replaces Lophomonas (Galarneault & Leifson) which is invalid.

“…The heterogeneity within the genus Vibrio was highlighted by Davis and Park (90,305). By examining morphological and biochemical features of most species of the genus Vibrio, they showed that it was quite artificial and concluded that at least three genera existed among the species examined.…”

Vibrios are ubiquitous and abundant in the aquatic environment. A high abundance of vibrios is also detected in tissues and/or organs of various marine algae and animals, e.g., abalones, bivalves, corals, fish, shrimp, sponges, squid, and zooplankton. Vibrios harbour a wealth of diverse genomes as revealed by different genomic techniques including amplified fragment length polymorphism, multilocus sequence typing, repetetive extragenic palindrome PCR, ribotyping, and whole-genome sequencing. The 74 species of this group are distributed among four different families, i.e., Enterovibrionaceae, Photobacteriaceae, Salinivibrionaceae, and Vibrionaceae. Two new genera, i.e., Enterovibrio norvegicus and Grimontia hollisae, and 20 novel species, i.e., Enterovibrio coralii, Photobacterium eurosenbergii, V. brasiliensis, V. chagasii, V. coralliillyticus, V. crassostreae, V. fortis, V. gallicus, V. hepatarius, V. hispanicus, V. kanaloaei, V. neonatus, V. neptunius, V. pomeroyi, V. pacinii, V. rotiferianus, V. superstes, V. tasmaniensis, V. ezurae, and V. xuii, have been described in the last few years. Comparative genome analyses have already revealed a variety of genomic events, including mutations, chromosomal rearrangements, loss of genes by decay or deletion, and gene acquisitions through duplication or horizontal transfer (e.g., in the acquisition of bacteriophages, pathogenicity islands, and super-integrons), that are probably important driving forces in the evolution and speciation of vibrios. Whole-genome sequencing and comparative genomics through the application of, e.g., microarrays will facilitate the investigation of the gene repertoire at the species level. Based on such new genomic information, the taxonomy and the species concept for vibrios will be reviewed in the next years
