BackgroundThe noncholeraVibriospp. which cause vibriosis are abundantly found in our water ecosystem. These bacteria could negatively affect both humans and animals. To date, there is a paucity of information available on the existence and pathogenicity of this particular noncholeraVibriospp. in Malaysia in comparison to their counterpart,Vibrio cholera.MethodsIn this study, we extracted retrospective data from Malaysian surveillance database. Analysis was carried out using WHONET software focusing noncholeraVibriospp. includingVibrio parahaemolyticus,Vibrio vulnificus,Vibrio fluvialis,Vibrio alginolyticus,Vibrio hollisae(Grimontia hollisae),Vibrio mimicus,Vibrio metschnikovii, andVibrio furnissii.ResultsHere, we report the first distribution and prevalence of these species isolated in Malaysia together with the antibiotic sensitivity profile based on the species. We found thatV. parahaemolyticusis the predominant species isolated in Malaysia. Noticeably, across the study period,V. fluvialisis becoming more prevalent, as compared toV. parahaemolyticus. In addition, this study also reports the first isolation of pathogenicV. furnissiifrom stool in Malaysia.ConclusionThese data represent an important step toward understanding the potential emergence of noncholeraVibriospp. outbreaks.
