V. vulnificus was isolated from his blood and wounds. The strain was indole negative, was ornithine decarboxylase positive and grew at 42°C. A strain of V. vulnificus with these characteristics was isolated in 1987 from diseased eels. The characteristics differed from those of V. vulnificus strains (biogroup 1) that have been reported from patients world-wide. V. vulnificus biogroup 1 was isolated from 3 of 11 seawater samples collected along the coast of the Netherlands, but indole negative strains of V. vulnificus were not isolated. We conclude that an indole-negative variant of V. vulnificus is pathogenic for eels and for human beings and that eels may transmit V. vulnificus to humans.
