Vibrio tubiashii is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped (0.5 um-1.5 um) marine bacterium that uses a single polar flagellum for motility.[1][2] It has been implicated in several diseases of marine organisms.[1][3][4][5][6]
Vibrio tubiashii was originally isolated from juvenile and larval bivalve mollusks suffering from bacillary necrosis,[7][8] now called vibriosis. It was originally discovered by Tubiash et al. in 1965,[7] hence the name, but not properly described until Hada et al. in 1984.[1] Since its discovery and identification, V. tubiashii has been implicated in shellfish vibriosis across the globe,[1][5][6] and more recently, coral diseases.[citation needed]
