Vibrio ponticus is a species of Gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium from the genus Vibrio within the family Vibrionaceae. V. ponticus is a marine bacterium. It has been reported in both environmental and aquaculture contexts, with evidence supporting a role in fish disease.
Taxonomy
Vibrio ponticus was first described by Macián et al. in 2004 following its isolation from Mediterranean seawater.[1] Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA sequencing places V. ponticus within the genus Vibrio and distinguishes it from closely related species such as V. fluvialis.[1]
Ecology
Vibrio ponticus has been isolated from seawater and is considered part of the natural marine microbiota.[1]
Pathogenicity
Vibrio ponticus is a rare cause of infectious gastroenteritis in the United States.[2]
Vibrio ponticus has been increasingly recognized in aquaculture settings and has been associated with disease in marine fish species.[3] Infected fish may symptoms including skin lesions, hemorrhage, and septicemia.[3]
