Genomic comparison of serogroups O159 and O170 with other Vibrio cholerae serogroups
Of the hundreds of Vibrio cholerae serogroups, O1 and O139 are the main epidemic-causing ones. Although non-O1/non-O139 serogroups rarely cause epidemics, the possibility exists for strains within them to have pathogenic potential.We selected 25 representative strains within 16 V.
