Abstract
Most research and information on human pathogenic vibrios has for the past years accumulated on vibrio cholerae only, probably due to severity of infection and its impact on public health. Of late, other vibrio species are also gaining attention as human pathogens. The nature of infection of these vibrio may be intenstinal or both. Most of the vibrios are the natural inhabitants of the marine habitat of the tropical and subtropical areas of marine, brackish or fresh water enviornments where they form a major part of the bacterial flora. Here explained some of vibrios on their characteristics, pathogenicity, growth, etc.
