Wound infections occur after exposure to contaminated water.
Mild infections can lead to cellulitis; this is more common when Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the causative agent.
Severe cases can lead to necrotizing fasciitis; this is more common when the wound is infected by Vibrio vulnificus.
Treatment:
Antibiotic administration; if necrotic tissue is present, surgical debridement is also necessary.
