Vibrio cholerae is the organism responsible for causing cholera, a disease characterized by watery "rice water stools" due to severe dehydration caused by the loss of large amounts of fluid and electrolytes from the body. Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus can also cause diarrhea, but their symptoms usually do not include "rice water stools." Campylobacter jejuni and Helicobacter pylori are bacteria that can cause gastrointestinal symptoms, but they do not typically cause "rice water stools."
