Vibrio vulnificus is a type of bacteria commonly found in warm seawater, particularly in coastal areas. It can cause serious infections in humans, especially when individuals consume raw or undercooked seafood, particularly oysters, or when open wounds come into contact with contaminated water. Infections from Vibrio vulnificus can lead to symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever. In severe cases, it can cause life-threatening conditions, especially in people with weakened immune systems or chronic liver disease. Prompt medical attention is crucial for those showing symptoms after exposure.
