'''''Listonella''''' is a genus of Gram-negative marine bacteria in the family Vibrionaceae named after the American microbiologist J. Liston. Analysis of phylogenetic, genomic and phenotypic data has shown the genus is not distinct from the genus ''Vibrio'', so it is now considered a synonym of ''Vibrio''.<ref>(Thompson et al. 2011 doi: 10.1099/ijs.0.030015-0)</ref>
