“…in the present study were Vibrio fortis, Vibrio alginolyticus, and Vibrio hyugaensis, which suggested that the predominance of a specific Vibrio sp. seems to be site-specific as others have reported different predominant Vibrio species in their studies, such as V. alginolyticus, Vibrio campbellii, Vibrio carchariae, Vibrio harveyi, Vibrio owensii, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio rotiferianus, and Vibrio splendidus (Maeda et al, 2003;Eiler et al, 2006;Ortiz-Carrillo et al, 2015;Li et al, 2019;Wong et al, 2019). The four major clinically important pathogenic Vibrio species, Vibrio cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus, V. alginolyticus, and Vibrio vulnificus, have been implicated in human diseases such as gastroenteritis and septicemia and even death in immunocompromised patients (Novoslavskij et al, 2016).…”
