Introduction
Microorganisms of the genus Vibrio are gram-negative, rods that are straight or rigid curve. They
possess a single flagellum at the polar end. They normally produce catalase; oxidase and ferment glucose.
Several Vibrio species are pathogenic to human beings and infections caused by the genus are mainly
through the fecal-oral route (Bonnin-Jusserand M, 2016). Consumption of contaminated food, water,
undercooked shellfish, crustaceans, and fish transmits the following species of the genus Vibrio; V.
fluvialis, V. cholerae, V. vulnificus, V. parahaemolyticus, and many others.
In studying the genus Vibrio that is a major pathogenic food contaminant, a variety of methods
have been used in studying them. The techniques employed include; PCR for identification, DNA colony
hybridization. With these advanced techniques, older techniques have been given less attention. Some
techniques despite being accurate, their reagents may be poisonous or difficult to find. New techniques
are also coming up and taking over the research segment for instance; real-time PCR.
Seafood is consumed all over the world. Besides being a source of food, they are a source of
income and government revenue hence they are a significant part of the economic standing of several
countries. Most Vibrio species are responsible for the increase in food-borne infections in humans
(Bonnin-Jusserand M, 2016). This has therefore necessitated early diagnosis through new techniques that
are fast and accurate for early treatment.
Particularly, V. cholerae and V. vul...
