Vibrio metschnikovii is a Gram-negative species of bacteria found in freshwater and marine environments.^[1] V. metschnikovii is an emergent pathogen in humans, causing gastrointestinal disease and wound infections.^[2]

V. metschnikovii was named in honor of Russian biologist, Élie Metchnikoff.^[3]

Characteristics[edit]

Vibrio metschnikovii is a halophilic Gram-negative rod. They are facultatively anaerobic and motile through a single polar flagellum.^[4] They are catalase positive. V. metschnikovii is the only pathogenic Vibrio that is oxidase negative.^[5] They grow readily on routine laboratory including TCBS agar and blood agar.

Disease[edit]

Vibrio metschnikovii is an infrequent cause of disease in humans, with 13 cases reported between 1981 and 2014.^[6] In 2019, there were 6 reported cases of V. metschnikovii infections in the US in 2019.^[7]
