Phylum Proteobacteria, Class Gammaproteobacteria, Order Vibrionales, Family Vibrionaceae, Vibrio Group 509 (includes a group of
four Na+ requiring Vibrio strains isolated from blood cultures of Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles, Texas).
Gram-negative motile cells. Swarming on complex media.
Grows in media supplemented with 1 to 8% NaCl. Variable growth in 10% NaCl
medium.
Isolated from blood cultures of Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles, Texas.
"Hemorrhagic septicemia”-like lesions in Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles (isolated from an outbreak at the National Marine Fisheries
Services facilities, Galveston, Texas; was seen in stained sections of lung tissue from animals observed to vomit blood).
