Accepted Answer

Vibrio cholerae is the bacterium that causes cholera, a serious bacterial infection of the small intestine that can lead to severe dehydration and even death if untreated. Vibrio furnissii, V. vulnificus, and V. parahaemolyticus are also types of bacteria in the Vibrio genus, but they do not cause cholera.
