Vibrio fluvialisin Patients with Diarrhea, Kolkata, India

Abstract: We identified 131 strains of Vibrio fluvialis among 400 nonagglutinating Vibrio spp. isolated from patients with diarrhea in Kolkata, India. For 43 patients, V. fluvialis was the sole pathogen identified. Most strains harbored genes encoding hemolysin and metalloprotease; this finding may contribute to understanding of the pathogenicity of V. fluvialis.

“…V. cholerae is the second closest species to V. fluvialis. Species-specific minimal biochemical tests are used to identify V. fluvialis; without these tests, V. fluvialis may be confused with V. cholerae (5). Utilizations of arginine, lysine, and ornithine are the major biochemical tests used to differentiate the species V. fluvialis and V. cholerae.…”

“…fluvialis was broadly defined as a nonagglutinating Vibrio species (5). It was first isolated in 1975 from patients with severe diarrhea (6) and was originally called "group F Vibrios" by Furniss et al and "EF-6 Vibrios" by the Centers for Disease Control (6,7).…”

“…The name V. fluvialis was proposed later by Lee et al (1981). Since its discovery, the microbe has been implicated in both outbreaks and sporadic cases of diarrhea (Huq et al, 1980; Bellet et al, 1989; Klontz and Desenclos, 1990; Srinivasan et al, 2006; Bhattacharjee et al, 2010; Chowdhury et al, 2012), as well as various extra-intestinal infections (Huang and Hsu, 2005; Ratnaraja et al, 2005; Lai et al, 2006; Liu et al, 2011). Infection by V. fluvialis is most common in infants, children, and young adults.…”

“…V. mimicus has been reported to cause at least two outbreaks of diarrheal disease (186,187). The number of studies and case reports worldwide describing gastrointestinal infections cause by V. fluvialis seems to be increasing as well (188,189). In the United States, V. fluvialis is typically the third most common Vibrio species associated with gastroenteritis, following V. parahaemolyticus and non-O1, non-O139 V. cholerae.…”
