摘要：

Infection with Vibrio vulnificus is uncommon in Europe but is associated with necrotising wound infections and life-threatening septicaemia. This case is one of infection most likely to have been acquired from a thermal pool in Turkey without preceding exposure to seawater or shellfish. The report also describes how early management was optimised using gradient diffusion antibiotic strips to provide rapid susceptibility data.
