In July 2024 the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published an assessment of public health aspects of Vibrio spp. related to the consumption of seafood in the EU (EFSA Journal. 2024;22:e8896.). According to EFSA the prevalence of Vibrio in seafood is expected to increase both globally and in Europe because of climate change. Additionally, resistance to last-resort antibiotics is increasingly found in some Vibrio species.
