Overview

  • Vibrio proteolyticus, (aka Aeromonas hydrophila subsp. proteolytica), is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium. It has been detected in at least 1 gut microbiome compilation study or metastudy. The DNA G+C content is 50.5%. Vibrio proteolyticus is probably a rare gut coloniser. (Farmer2005gBergey)



  • This organism has been recovered from the alimentary canal of marine isopods. The risk classification (www.baua.de) for this organism is 1, i.e., low risk of infection and spread. Pathogenicity status unknown, or very unlikely to be pathogenic. A possible gut commensal.
