Comparative genomic characterization of a Thailand-Myanmar isolate, MS6, of Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor, which is phylogenetically related to a "US Gulf Coast" clone. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND: The cholera outbreaks in Thailand during 2007-2010 were exclusively caused by the Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor variant carrying the cholera toxin gene of the classical biotype. We previously isolated a V. cholerae O1 El Tor strain from a patient

Draft Genome Sequence of Environmental Vibrio cholerae 2012EL-1759 with Similarities to the V. cholerae O1 Classical Biotype [PDF]

Genome Announcements, 2014
ABSTRACT Vibrio cholerae 2012EL-1759 is an environmental isolate from Haiti that was recovered in 2012 during a cholera outbreak. The genomic backbone is similar to that of the prototypical V.

Environmental Surveillance of Vibrio cholerae O1/O139 in the Five African Great Lakes and Other Major Surface Water Sources in Uganda

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Cholera is a major public health problem in the African Great Lakes basin. Two hypotheses might explain this observation, namely the lakes are reservoirs of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 bacteria, or cholera outbreaks are a result of repeated ...

Detection of Phage-Induced Mobile Genetic Elements in Strains of Vibrio cholerae O1 Biovar El Tor

Проблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2023
The acquisition of new mobile genetic elements contributes to the genetic diversity of Vibrio cholerae strains. An important role in this process belongs to the genetic material obtained from phages. The aim of this work was to identify phage-induced PLE

ISOLATION OF A NEW VARIANT OF VIBRIO CHOLERAE O1: V. CHOLERAE O1 RIBOTYPE B27 TOXINOGENOTYPE TB31 DURING THE LAST CHOLERA EPIDEMIC IN SENEGAL

Japanese Journal of Medical Science and Biology, 1997
A total of 205 Vibrio cholerae O1 isolates from recent cholera epidemic in Senegal were analyzed by conventional methods, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for genes encoding cholera toxin (ctx A), zonula occludens toxin (zot) and accessory cholera enterotoxin (ace), ribotyping and toxinogenotyping.

Phosphate Limitation Modulates Vibrio Cholerae Outer Membrane Vesicle Formation, Composition and Toxicity. [PDF]

J Extracell Biol
ABSTRACT Vibrio cholerae inhabits phosphorus‐poor aquatic environments and host intestine, where it expresses genes regulated by the PhoB/PhoR two‐component system in response to inorganic phosphate (Pi) limitation. Like other Gram‐negative bacteria, V.

Monitoring Water Sources for Environmental Reservoirs of Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O1, Haiti

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
An epidemic of cholera infections was documented in Haiti for the first time in more than 100 years during October 2010. Cases have continued to occur, raising the question of whether the microorganism has established environmental reservoirs in Haiti ...
