Did y’all have flesh eating bacteria on your 2020 bingo card? Vibrio bacteria has been wreaking havoc long before 2020, and will only become more prevalent with the effects of climate change. Unfortunately, this has to be treated as an emerging threat to human health. Currently, severe vibrio infection (“flesh-eating”) is rare, but lesser forms of infection often go undiagnosed. This could lead to cases going unreported, and the threat underestimated.
“You can get sick within just hours of exposure,” an infectious disease doctor said. “If you’re badly infected and particularly if you don’t
A follow up to my previous post on Vibrio prevalence in North and South Carolina! A great example of how climate change won’t just affect wildlife and natural places, but also human health! And this is just the tip of the melting iceberg of climate change and human health interactions.....
The bacteria can strip the flesh off your arms and is expanding in the water along the Carolinas coast. And it’s become more resistant of an

The study aims to isolate and identify various pathogenic vibrios associated with Tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon . Different biochemical tests were performed which confirmed the different types of vibrios present in the diseased shrimp based on their colony morphology and response to various biochemical tests. Antibiotic resistance pattern study confirmed that all the isolates were to be sensitive to chloramphenicol, oxytetracycline, erythromycin and nalidixic acid. The isolates were also completely resistant to certain antibiotics like ciprofloxacin, oxolinic acid and cefuroxime.
