A Vibrio Culture Screen is a laboratory test that checks a sample of body fluid or tissue for the presence of Vibrio bacteria, which can cause serious infections, particularly in people with weakened immune systems or those who have eaten contaminated seafood. Your doctor might order this test if you have symptoms like severe diarrhea, vomiting, or wound infections and there is concern that Vibrio may be the cause. During the test, your sample will be sent to a lab where technicians will culture it in special conditions to identify if Vibrio bacteria are present, with results typically available within a few days.
