Question

What is the name of the organism that is responsible for "summer diarrhea" in Japan?
A) Vibrio cholerae
B) V. vulnificus
C) V. parahaemolyticus

Accepted Answer

V. parahaemolyticus is commonly associated with "summer diarrhea" in Japan, which is caused by ingestion of contaminated seafood, particularly raw or undercooked shellfish. V. cholerae and V. vulnificus can also cause gastrointestinal illness, but they are not specifically associated with "summer diarrhea" in Japan. V. trota is not a recognized species of Vibrio.
