Vibrio cholerae is a Gram-negative, comma-shaped, highly motile aquatic bacterium and the causative agent of pandemic cholera disease in humans. It inhabits coastal estuaries, river deltas, and warm marine environments, often associated with plankton, particularly copepods. This facultatively anaerobic bacterium spreads through contaminated water and food, causing severe watery diarrhea with major public health impact.

Vibrio jasicida is a marine Gram-negative rod known as a pathogen of marine invertebrates including crustaceans and mollusks. It inhabits coastal seawater and estuarine environments in warm marine regions. This chemoheterotrophic bacterium causes vibriosis-like diseases in shellfish and shrimp aquaculture operations.
