Title: Dangerous Water (Vibrio vulnificus) Nekita Baksh Keiser University Dangerous Waters In 2006, a mortgage broker in his 30s fell into a harbor in Hawaii six day after a sewage pipe failure had allowed 48 million gallons of sewage to flow into the harbor water. The man was admitted to the hospital, and within days he died from massive organ failure caused by septicemia. The man had a bacterial infection called Vibrio vulnificus. In order to

Vibrio Vibrio is a rod shaped bacteria that are also gram negative. They naturally appear in marine or estuarine environments. Also to note there are around about 12 species vibrio that have been known to cause diseases in humans which cause around about an estimated 80,000 illnesses, 500 hospitalizations and 100 deaths ever year in the US. The main reason that people get infected by vibrio is from coming into contact with seawater or through consuming raw or undercooked seafood. Vibriosis usually

Vibrio bacteria are Gram-negative with straight or curved rods. These bacteria are motile and have one polar flagellum that has a sheath around it. They occur in both marine and fresh water habitats. There are different factors to include when trying to grow this bacteria. In order for the different species of the Vibrio genus to grow, they need to be in salt or sea-water based medium for optimal growth and can grow in temperatures varying from 10C to 37C. Vibrio bacteria are facultative anaerobes

Khiana Hawkins Vibrio vulnificus found in the Hampton Roads area Issued 5 April, 2016 In the Hampton Roads area we have a special scientist that test our waters and they are with a company called Hampton Roads Sanitation District also known as HRSD. In recent years a flesh eating bacteria called Vibrio Vulnificus has been found in Hampton Roads area, specifically at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. It is very concerning because a lot of people that live in the Hampton Roads area enjoy swimming

Vibrio cholerae is a "comma" shaped Gram-negative bacteria with a single, polar flagellum for movement. There are numerous strains of V. cholerae, some of which are pathogenic and some of which are not. V. cholerae is a facultative anaerobic organism and was first isolated as the cause of cholera by an Italian anatomist Filippo Pacini in 1854, but his discovery was not widely known until Robert Koch, working independently 30 years later, publicized the knowledge and the means of fighting the disease

Antimicrobial susceptibility of Vibrio cholerae Isolated from Diarrheal Patients in Najaf Province Dr. Zahraa Yosif Motaweq Faculty of Science/University of Kufa Abstract: Stool specimens were collected from patients with watery diarrhea aged (from 1 to >60 years) prior administration to antimicrobial agents who were referred to Central Health Laboratory in Najaf. This study found that 27 isolate of Vibrio cholerae 23(52.3%) male and 21 (47.7%) female. Regarding to the serotyping of V.

Shrimp farming constitutes major economic activity in aquaculture in countries like China, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Ecuador and India, representing 80% of the global shrimp production (Dastidar, Mallik, and Mandal 2013). Ecuador has a long history in aquaculture, especially in the production of farm-raised shrimp that is consider an important premium product for the Ecuadorians’ economy. It is the second highest non-oil export product, only after bananas (Lopez, Ruiz, and Moncayo 2016). It is

Introduction to Microbiology Pathogen paper Vibrio cholera Nazarbayev University Taxonomy and Morphology Vibrio cholerae is a gram-negative bacterium which is causative agent for the diarrheal disease cholera. Vibrio cholerae is a member of the Vibrionaceae family, which is a facultative anaerobic and is capable of respiratory and fermentative metabolism. It does not form spores and its motility is due to the single polar flagellum. Vibrios are highly halophylic and are very sensitive

Arjana Zyka Scientific Reasoning and analysis Essay on climatic changes. Man Against Nature; Nature Against Man Life on Earth, as we know it, is possible thanks to the natural effect known by the term greenhouse. The effluent gases, mainly water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and gases such as methane (CH4), nitrogen oxide (N2O) and tropospheric ozone (O3), allow solar energy to illuminate the Earth with visible light but also pressure infrared heat.1 This phenomenon keeps our planet sufficiently

Temperature and salinity are known to play important and interrelated roles in the levels of Vibrio spp. Kelly and Stroh (1988) reported that V. parahaemolyticus was found in Pacific Northwest coastal waters only during the summer months, when water temperatures were above 17 °C and salinities were below 13 ppt. Further research by Kaspar and Tamplin (1993) demonstrated that V. vulnificus levels increased when salinities was between 5 and 25 ppt, ; however, when salinities were 30, 35, and 38 ppt
