The bacteria Vibrio vulnificus is sometimes released into the ocean by sewage pollution. This small bacterium is often eaten by
filter feeders, such as oysters. What impact would you expect this to have on individuals that consumed oysters which had fed on the bacteria? A.) The bacteria would have a negative impact on the oysters but is harmless to humans.
B.) The bacteria could cause infections in people who consume contaminated shellfish.
C.) The bacteria could cause infections in people who do not have strong enough immune systems to fight off the bacteria, which could then be transmitted person to person.
D.) The bacteria would not cause infections in any people because our immune systems are strong enough to fight off the bacteria.
B.) The bacteria could cause infections in people who consume contaminated shellfish.
