Which Vibrio species causes the most severe and life-threatening infections?
Answer: A
Correct answer: Vibrio vulnificus
V. vulnificus causes septicaemia rather than a self-limiting gastroenteritis, invading the bloodstream from the gut or through a wound exposed to seawater. It is far less common than V. parahaemolyticus but vastly more dangerous, and it is the reason raw oysters carry warnings for at-risk groups.
