Vibrio cholerae bacteria can cause cholera, which is an acute, diarrheal illness that can result in severe dehydration and even death within a matter of hours. These bacteria are not likely to spread directly from one person to another; therefore, casual contact with an infected person is not a risk for becoming ill. There are two general types of Vibrio cholerae bacteria: Vibrio cholerae Serogroup O1, and Vibrio cholerae Serogroup non-O1.
