“…In Japan, isolation of Vibrio cholerae non-O1/non-O139 has also been reported in various regions of river water as well as fish and shellfish (5). In the United States, Vibrio cholerae non-O1/ non-O139 infections are associated with a higher mortality rate (2.6-5%) compared with Vibrio cholerae O1/O139 (0-0.5%), according to recently reported surveillance data from 1996 to 2010 (9).…”

Fatal Diarrheal Disease Caused by <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> O67 in a Patient with Myelodysplastic Syndrome

et al. 2013

A 71-year-old man with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) receiving treatment with azacitidine developed extensive watery diarrhea for three consecutive days. As a result of high-grade dehydration, the patient was urgently admitted to the hospital and fluid replacement therapy was initiated. However, the patient's diarrhea did not improve. Vibrio cholerae non-O1/non-O139 was detected in a fecal culture. On the fourth day, the patient died due to circulatory collapse. An autopsy revealed extensive necrosis of the intestinal mucosa. Vibrio cholerae non-O1/non-O139-induced diarrheal disease often develops in patients with hepatic cirrhosis and has a serious clinical course. We herein report a fatal outcome of Vibrio cholerae O67 infection in an immunocompromised MDS patient.

“…are also present in fresh water, including the drinking water of some countries. [1][2][3][4] These organisms can cause a variety of illnesses, including severe skin and soft tissue infections, gastroenteritis, and bacteremia: V. vulnificus 5 and Shewanella spp. 1 are particularly associated with severe fulminant disease, especially in immunocompromised patients or those with underlying liver disease, and Aeromonas has been recognized as an important cause of infections in the aftermath of natural disasters, such as tsunamis.…”

Abstract. Vibrio, Aeromonas, Chromobacterium violaceum, and Shewanella (VACS) are water-associated Gramnegative organisms that can cause a variety of infections. The frequency, patient characteristics, and antimicrobial susceptibilities for 468 isolates from 442 patients from the Northern Territory were reviewed. Aeromonas spp. (312 of 468; 67%) were most commonly isolated followed by Vibrio spp. (71 of 468; 15%), Shewanella spp. (61 of 468; 13%), and C. violaceum (24 of 468; 5%). A strong male predominance was found (male to female ratio of 2.3:1). Skin and soft tissue isolations (373 of 468; 80%) from lower limb infections (222 of 371; 60%) were the most common clinical manifestation. The episodes were usually polymicrobial (281 of 468; 60%). Coisolates included Staphylococcus aureus (137 of 468; 29%), β-hemolytic streptococci (74 of 468; 16%), enterobacteriaceae (111 of 468; 24%), non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli (35 of 468; 7%), and other VACS organisms (37 of 468; 8%). Antimicrobial resistance of VACS organisms to ciprofloxacin (0-4%), cefepime (0-3%), and gentamicin (0-0.8%) and Vibrio spp., Aeromonas spp., and Shewanella to cotrimoxazole (0-3%) was rarely shown. For water-associated lower limb skin and soft tissue infections in the tropics, clinicians should consider empirical antimicrobial therapy with agents active against S. aureus and VACS organisms.

“…Characterized as "opportunitrophs," Vibrio have a broad genomic and metabolic repertoire (8), allowing them to compete in highly variable nutrient environments ranging from the open ocean to pathogenic associations with animal hosts (3,9). This genus includes many well-known pathogens of marine organisms and humans, and disease incidence has risen sharply in the last 20 y (10,11). Common human pathogens include the causative agent of the severe diarrheal disease cholera (Vibrio cholerae), shellfish-associated gastroenteritis (Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus), and seawater-associated wound infections (Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio alginolyticus) (10).…”

Saharan dust nutrients promote Vibrio bloom formation in marine surface waters

Vibrio is a ubiquitous genus of marine bacteria, typically comprising a small fraction of the total microbial community in surface waters, but capable of becoming a dominant taxon in response to poorly characterized factors. Iron (Fe), often restricted by limited bioavailability and low external supply, is an essential micronutrient that can limit Vibrio growth. Vibrio species have robust metabolic capabilities and an array of Fe-acquisition mechanisms, and are able to respond rapidly to nutrient influx, yet Vibrio response to environmental pulses of Fe remains uncharacterized. Here we examined the population growth of Vibrio after natural and simulated pulses of atmospherically transported Saharan dust, an important and episodic source of Fe to tropical marine waters. As a model for opportunistic bacterial heterotrophs, we demonstrated that Vibrio proliferate in response to a broad range of dust-Fe additions at rapid timescales. Within 24 h of exposure, strains of Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio alginolyticus were able to directly use Saharan dust–Fe to support rapid growth. These findings were also confirmed with in situ field studies; arrival of Saharan dust in the Caribbean and subtropical Atlantic coincided with high levels of dissolved Fe, followed by up to a 30-fold increase of culturable Vibrio over background levels within 24 h. The relative abundance of Vibrio increased from ∼1 to ∼20% of the total microbial community. This study, to our knowledge, is the first to describe Vibrio response to Saharan dust nutrients, having implications at the intersection of marine ecology, Fe biogeochemistry, and both human and environmental health.
