Gastrointestinal illness is most commonly caused by Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Other, less common Vibrio species that can cause gastrointestinal illness include:
Vibrio mimicus
Vibrio fluvialis
Vibrio hollisae
Vibrio furnissii.
Soft tissue infections from Vibrio species most commonly occur from Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio alginolyticus, or Vibrio damsela.
Sepsis most commonly occurs from an infection with Vibrio vulnificus. Very rarely, Vibrio parahaemolyticus can cause sepsis.
