What is Vibrio?

Vibrio ^[1] (Vibrio) is a Gram-negative bacterium that is short, curved and curved with a flagellum at the tail. Such as Vibrio cholerae. Vibrio is widely distributed in seawater and marine animals in estuaries, bays, and coastal waters. There are currently 91 species of Vibrio. The main fish and shellfish causing bacteria are: Vibrio alginolyticus, Vibrio anguillarum, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio vulnificus, etc .; some Vibrio can also cause human diseases such as Vibrio alginolyticus, Vibrio vulnificus, etc.

Vibrio bacteria have only one bend, which is arc-shaped or comma-shaped. Such as

Vibrio enteritis is more common in coastal areas, or patients have traveled to coastal areas

On July 23, 2012, a study by the British Centre for Environmental, Fishery and Aquaculture Sciences warned that a large number of germs were invading northern Europe due to global warming, leading to increased diseases such as cholera and gastroenteritis.

The study focused on the Baltic Sea, where it is warming at an unprecedented rate, and seawater temperatures have risen by 6.3 to 7.8 degrees Celsius in 100 years. Researchers have found that rising temperatures in the Baltic Sea have accelerated the growth of the aquatic bacteria Vibrio. Vibrio enters the body through eating shellfish or seawater, which can cause a variety of infectious diseases, including cholera and gastroenteritis. The study found that for every one degree Celsius temperature rise, the number of Vibrio species increased by 200%. Scientists warn that as ocean temperatures continue to rise, salinity in coastal waters in northern Europe is falling, and Vibrio is spreading.
