Posted Monday, July 3, 2017 3:05 pmA 70-year-old, retired teacher from Mississippi says she has contracted vibrio vulfinicus bacteria in Fairhope. Vibrio vulfinicus is a notifiable disease in Alabama, meaning medical personnel who treat the bacteria must tell the state. The hospital treating the victim also would not verify the vibrio vulfinicus diagnosis, citing HIPAA privacy rules. It is unclear whether the bacteria came from local waters or shrimp she was using as bait. Officials said that while Gulf and bay waters are potential homes for vibrio vulfinicus, it also thrives among shellfish and shrimp.
