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