Necrotizing fasciitis caused by Vibrio vulnificus: first published infection acquired in Turkey is the second time a strain is isolated in Germany

R Horré et al. Infection. 1998 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

Vibrio vulnificus, a marine vibrio, has recently been recognized as a potential human pathogen. It causes human infections with mortality rates up to 60%. Until 1991, most human isolations were reported from the USA, Japan and Taiwan. The second strain isolated in Germany is documented and a significant case of V. vulnificus infection acquired in Turkey is published for the first time.
