Vibrio alginolyticus infections in humans.

U Schmidt, H Chmel, C Cobbs
PMCID: PMC273243  PMID: 397221

Abstract

Two clinical isolates of Vibrio alginolyticus from New Jersey are reported, one from a mixed stump infection and the other grown in pure culture from the conjunctival discharge of a man with conjunctivitis. The biochemical characteristics and antibiotic susceptibilities of these two isolates are presented. Human infections caused by V. alginolyticus are reviewed.
