To characterize and identify vibrios present in wild and cultured juvenile snappers (Lutjanus guttatus) in northwestern Mexico. Spotted rose snapper juveniles were collected at four localities in northwestern Mexico. Bacteria were isolated from external lesions, kidney, liver, and spleen from cultured and wild caught organisms. In total, 280 isolates were obtained and fingerprinted with rep-PCR (GTG5). Nearly 93·2% of the strains belonged to the Vibrionaceae family. Species and genera identified were Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae (76 strains), Photobacterium leiognathi (13), Vibrio sp. (24), Vibrio alginolyticus (12), Vibrio campbellii (19), Vibrio fortis (9), Vibrio harveyi (49), Vibrio ichthyoenteri (4), Vibrio mediterranei (4), Vibrio parahaemolyticus (1), Vibrio ponticus (2), Vibrio rotiferianus (22), and four potential new species. A wide diversity of vibrios was found in the external lesions and internal organs of both wild and cultured spotted rose snapper juveniles. In total, 12 species of vibrios and four potential new species were identified. This is the first study on the vibrios present in the spotted rose snapper and therefore might serve as a basis for future studies and diagnosis.
