Rapid tests as a practical alternative to slide agglutination for the confirmation of <i>V. cholerae</i> O1. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Slide agglutination for serogroup and/or serotype identification is a crucial step for confirming cholera by culture. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are typically used directly on stool but are not considered sufficient for cholera confirmation. However, they may

Bivalent oral cholera vaccination induces a memory B cell response to the V. cholerae O1-polysaccharide antigen in Haitian adults. [PDF]
The bivalent killed whole-cell oral cholera vaccine (BivWC) is being increasingly used to prevent cholera. The presence of O-antigen-specific memory B cells (MBC) has been associated with protective immunity against cholera, yet MBC responses have not been evaluated after BivWC vaccination. To address this knowledge gap, we measured V.

Purification and characterization of a protease produced by Vibrio cholerae non-O1 and comparison with a protease of V. cholerae O1 [PDF]
A protease produced by a clinical isolate of Vibrio cholerae non-O1 was purified to apparent homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation and successive column chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A25, Sephadex G100, Mono Q, and Phenyl Superose. Like the hemagglutinin-protease of V.

Identity of hemolysins produced by Vibrio cholerae non-O1 and V. cholerae O1, biotype El Tor [PDF]
Hemolysins purified from non-O1 Vibrio cholerae (non-O1 hemolysin) and a Vibrio cholerae O1, biotype El Tor (El Tor hemolysin) were investigated for their homology. The hemolysins were isolated from the culture supernatant fluids by ammonium sulfate precipitation and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 columns.

Colonization of professional divers by toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O1 and V. cholerae non-O1 at dive sites in the United States, Ukraine and Russia [PDF]
Vibrio cholerae, recognized as the causative agent of epidemic cholera, was isolated from healthy professional divers and from water samples collected at dive sites in the United States, Ukraine and Russia. Swabs of nose, ear and throat of divers and their tank regulators, i.e. the divers and their diving gear, were taken before and after routine dives.

Comparison of Vibrio cholerae O139 with V. cholerae O1 classical and El Tor biotypes [PDF]
Vibrio cholerae O139 is a recently identified non-O1 V. cholerae strain responsible for outbreaks of epidemic cholera in India, Bangladesh, and Thailand in the past 2 years. Other workers have demonstrated the presence of the cholera toxin genetic element in V. cholerae O139, unlike the situation for other non-O1 V. cholerae strains.
