“…Vibrio fluvialis causes a variety of infections in immune-competent/HIV patients, including bacteremia, biliary tract infection and acute diarrhea (Albert et al, 1991; Usó et al, 2010; Liu et al, 2011). The other rarely reported infections caused by this pathogen include suppurative cholangitis (Yoshii et al, 1987), peritonitis (Lee et al, 2008), acute otitis (Cabrera et al, 2005; Chen et al, 2012) and endophthalmitis (Penland et al, 2000).…”

Vibrio fluvialis is a pathogen commonly found in coastal environs. Considering recent increase in numbers of diarrheal outbreaks and sporadic extraintestinal cases, V. fluvialis has been considered as an emerging pathogen. Though this pathogen can be easily isolated by existing culture methods, its identification is still a challenging problem due to close phenotypic resemblance either with Vibrio cholerae or Aeromonas spp. However, using molecular tools, it is easy to identify V. fluvialis from clinical and different environmental samples. Many putative virulence factors have been reported, but its mechanisms of pathogenesis and survival fitness in the environment are yet to be explored. This chapter covers some of the major discoveries that have been made to understand the importance of V. fluvialis.
