This organism is [oxidase](/source/Oxidase_test) positive and motile by a single polar [flagellum](/source/flagellum). ''V. cincinnatiensis'' produces yellow colonies on [TCBS agar](/source/Thiosulfate%E2%80%93citrate%E2%80%93bile_salts%E2%80%93sucrose_agar), indicating sucrose fermentation.{{Cite journal |last1=Soga |first1=Eiji |last2=Sakaguchi |first2=Kanae |last3=Takizawa |first3=Shino |last4=Tanabe |first4=Mizuki |last5=Denda |first5=Tomohiro |last6=Koide |first6=Shota |last7=Hayashi |first7=Wataru |last8=Kasahara |first8=Satoe |last9=Nagano |first9=Yukiko |last10=Nagano |first10=Noriyuki |date=2023-02-14 |editor-last=Bekal |editor-first=Sadjia |title=Emergence of Vibrio cincinnatiensis, a Rare Human Pathogen, in Urban Crows |journal=Microbiology Spectrum |language=en |volume=11 |issue=1 |pages=e0392522 |doi=10.1128/spectrum.03925-22 |doi-access=free|issn=2165-0497 |pmc=9927279 |pmid=36475968}} Similar to other members of the ''Vibrionaceae'' family, ''V. cincinnatiensis'' is most commonly isolated from marine and aquatic environments. This bacterium was isolated from several bodies of water including the [Chesapeake Bay](/source/Chesapeake_Bay), [Adriatic Sea](/source/Adriatic_Sea), and [Ota River](/source/%C5%8Cta_River). In all these studies, ''V. cincinnatiensis'' represented only a small fraction of the total resident Vibrio populations.{{Cite journal |last1=Jäckel |first1=Claudia |last2=Hammerl |first2=Jens Andre |last3=Arslan |first3=Huynh-Huong-Thao |last4=Göllner |first4=Cornelia |last5=vom Ort |first5=Nicole |last6=Taureck |first6=Karin |last7=Strauch |first7=Eckhard |date=2020-05-15 |title=Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Veterinary Vibrio cincinnatiensis Isolates |journal=Microorganisms |language=en |volume=8 |issue=5 |pages=739 |doi=10.3390/microorganisms8050739 |doi-access=free |pmid=32429107 |pmc=7285037 |issn=2076-2607}} == Clinical significance == ''Vibrio cincinnatiensis'' is listed as a pathogenic member of Vibrionaceae.

The patient had no known contact with seafood or seawater. Therapy was begun with [ampicillin](/source/ampicillin) followed by [moxalactam](/source/Latamoxef). The patient's uneventful recovery represented the first successful treatment of ''Vibrio'' sp. meningitis in an adult.
