Vibrio vulnificus is a bacterium that occurs naturally in estuarine and sea waters, residing in high numbers in filter-feeding shellfish (oysters, clams, mussels).

The organism is able to cause infection in people through ingestion (typically through eating raw oysters). The chances of becoming infected by vibrio vulnificus from eating raw oysters depends on the number of oysters consumed, the concentration of the bacteria in those oysters, the virulence of the strain, and the condition or strength of the person’s immune system. However, once the bacteria get into a person’s bloodstream and septicemia develops, the mortality rate is 50% to 70%. Individuals who survive the bacterial infection may lose one or more of their limbs and suffer severe scarring.
