Description and significance
Vibrio anguillarum is a Gram-negative bacterium that belongs to the family Vibrionaceae, which includes several other species of marine bacteria. It is classified as a facultatively anaerobic, motile, and curved rod-shaped bacterium.
There are several serotypes of Vibrio anguillarum, which are distinguished based on differences in the structure of the bacterial surface antigens. These serotypes are important for understanding the epidemiology of the disease caused by V. anguillarum in aquatic animals, such as fish and shellfish.
