<i>Vibrio cidicii</i> genomes recovered from Baltic Sea samples in Denmark
We report the genomic characteristics of the human pathogen <i>Vibrio cidicii</i> isolated from seawater and green algae in the Baltic Sea. Initially misidentified as <i>Vibrio vulnificus</i> through culture and MALDI-TOF, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) confirmed them as <i>V. cidicii</i>, highlighting the importance of WGS analysis in accurate classification of emerging pathogens.
