Isolated from human blood & feces, rarely from other human or environmental sources. The type strain was isolated from human
feces, some strains isolated from marine moluscs and fish - Rhynchopelates oxyrhynchus).

Sporadic cases of diarrhea in humans. May cause diarrhea (sometimes requiring hospitalization) in individuals who consumed raw
shellfish (especially oysters) or more rarely fish raw or undercooked.
Produce a heat-labile enterotoxin responsible for elongation of CHO (Chinese Hamster Ovary cell). Synthesizes a hemolysin similar
to the thermostable hemolysin of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
In vitro, can adhere and enter the epithelial cells.
