Vibrio cholerae: Cholera toxin
The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2007The bacterial protein toxin of Vibrio cholerae, cholera toxin, is a major agent involved in severe diarrhoeal disease. Cholera toxin is a member of the AB toxin family and is composed of a catalytically active heterodimeric A-subunit linked with a homopentameric B-subunit.

Vibrio cholerae causes cholera, a profound secretory diarrhoea. V. cholerae are halophilic, highly motile, curved, Gram-negative rods. While V. cholerae is a natural member of aquatic environments, only a small portion of environmental V. cholerae is capable of causing cholera. Strains of V.

Trends in Immunology, 2023
Biofilms are communities of bacteria immersed in an extracellular matrix. Biofilms are considered a defensive strategy that protects bacteria from a hostile environment, including our immune system. Vidakovic et al. recently reported that Vibrio cholerae can build biofilms around immune cells and kill them, discovering an aggressive role for biofilms.

Metabolomics of Vibrio cholerae
2018Metabolomics is an "omics" approach to quantitatively measure a large set of metabolites. In this chapter, we describe an example method for performing liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based untargeted metabolomics on a cell extract from Vibrio cholerae.

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1982
To the Editor.— The article entitled "Cholera on the Texas Gulf Coast" (1982;247:1598) failed to make the critical distinction between Vibrio cholerae 01, the cause of epidemic cholera, and non-01 V cholerae , which, until recently, was included in a poorly defined category referred to as nonagglutinating vibrios or non-cholera vibrios. Although these

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1989
Several approaches to the development of a safe and effective vaccine against Vibrio cholerae are currently being pursued. These candidate vaccines include (1) live V. cholerae strains attenuated by recombinant DNA techniques; (2) killed whole V. cholerae organisms plus purified cholera enterotoxin B subunit; and (3) cloned V.

COLICINES originally demonstrated in E. coli have since been found in many other Gram-negative bacilli present in the intestine, Ps. pyocyanea and some Gram-positive bacilli1–4. Such antibacterial substances are now called bacteriocines5. It has also been confirmed that bacteria of different genera may produce a similar colicine6 and that the range of ...
