The Vibrio genus contains motile, Gram-negative bacteria that are obligate aerobes. Vibrio have a recognizable curved rod-like shape and a single polar flagella located on the ends of the vibrio. Although Vibrio species are non-invasive pathogens, they cause some of the most serious cases of diarrhea and thousands of people die from infection annually.
