Haitian Variant Vibrio cholerae O1 Strains Manifest Higher Virulence in Animal Models

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Vibrio cholerae causes fatal diarrheal disease cholera in humans due to consumption of contaminated water and food. To instigate the disease, the bacterium must evade the host intestinal innate immune system; penetrate the mucus layer of the small ...
