Vibrio metschnikovii is a gram-negative species of bacteria found in freshwater and marine environments.[1] V. metschnikovii is an emergent pathogen in humans, causing gastrointestinal disease and wound infections.[2]
V. metschnikovii was named in honor of Russian biologist, Élie Metchnikoff.[3]
Characteristics
Vibrio metschnikovii is a halophilic gram-negative rod. It is a facultatively anaerobic bacterium and motile through a single polar flagellum.[4] The species is catalase positive. V. metschnikovii is the only pathogenic Vibrio that is oxidase negative.[5] V. metschnikovii grows readily on routine laboratory including TCBS agar and blood agar. Unlike most other Vibrio, V. metschnikovii is unable to reduce nitrate.[6]
Disease
Vibrio metschnikovii is an infrequent cause of disease in humans, with 13 cases reported between 1981 and 2014.[7] In 2019, there were six reported cases of V. metschnikovii infections in the US in 2019.[8]
