Halophilic, lactose-positive Vibrio in a case of fatal septicemia

A Mertens et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1979 Feb.

Abstract

A halophilic Vibrio species was isolated from blood cultures from a 59-year-old male with enteritis. The strain differed from Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio alginolyticus by its ability to ferment lactose, its production of beta-galactosidase, and its lower NaCl tolerance. A report of this infection and a description of the isolate is presented.
