Abstract
Extract
The first member of the Vibrio group of micro-organisms, to be described was Vibrio cholerae, isolated by Koch in 1886 from the dejecta of cholera patients (Topley and Wilson, Citation1947). Since then, many saprophytic and some pathogenic vibrios have been recorded, those species infecting man and animals being relatively few in number. Of these, all but one has been associated with infections of the intestinal tract with gastro-enteritis, a common clinical symptom.
