Vibrio nigripulchritudo is a species of gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium from the order Vibrionales. V. nigripulchritudo is a notable pathogen of farmed shrimp.
Taxonomy
The species was first described as Beneckea nigripulchritudo in 1971.[1] However, following the abolition of the genus Beneckea, the species was moved to the genus Vibrio where it currently remains.[2]
Aquaculture
Vibrio nigripulchritudo was first identified as an aquaculture pathogen in 1995, following its isolation from diseased shrimp in New Caledonia.[3] Outbreaks and mass mortality due to V. nigripulchritudo have also been reported in shrimp farms in Japan.[4]
