Desulfovibrio vulgaris is a species of Gram-negative sulfate-reducing bacteria in the Desulfovibrionaceae family.^[1] Desulfovibrio vulgaris is often used as a model organism for sulfur-reducing bacteria^[2] and was the first of such bacteria to have its genome sequenced.^[3]

Desulfovibrio vulgaris is ubiquitous in nature and has also been implicated in a variety of human bacterial infections, although it may only be an opportunistic pathogen.^[4]
