Vibrio anguillarum is a species of prokaryote that belongs to the family Vibrionaceae, genus Vibrio. V. anguillarum is typically 0.5 - 1 μm in diameter and 1 - 3 μm in length.[1] It is a gram-negative, comma-shaped rod bacterium that is commonly found in seawater and brackish waters. It is polarly flagellated, non-spore-forming, halophilic, and facultatively anaerobic.[2] V. anguillarum has the ability to form biofilms.[3] V. anguillarum is pathogenic to various fish species, crustaceans, and mollusks.[2]
Vibrio anguillarum can grow at temperatures as low as 5 °C but peaks at 37 °C, and favors saline and slightly basic water for growth.[2][1] V. anguillarum was shown to be penicillin-resistant when tested with Rosco Neo-sensitabs System against antibiotics novobiocin and penicillin.[1] In lab cultures, colonies get up to 1mm after 24 hours of incubation and 4-5mm after a week of incubation. Young colonies appear yellow and turn brown as they get older. When grown in broth, growth starts in the upper part of the test tube and reaches the bottom over two days. Cultures start as lightly turbid but develop into films and deposits in later stages.[1]
