Abstract
Isolation of Vibrio alginolyticus from the wounds and blood of a burn patient is reported. Numerous tissue biopsy sites as well as one blood culture yielded the organism. The case history and a review of the hospital course of the patient is provided where relevant to the presence and identification of the organism. The bacteriologic, biochemical, and anti-microbial identification of the organism is described. Taxonomy, habitat, and pathogenicity of V. alginolyticus are discussed.
