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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Quorum sensing regulation of the two hcp alleles in Vibrio cholerae O1 strains. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:The type VI secretion system (T6SS) has emerged as a protein secretion system important to several gram-negative bacterial species. One of the common components of the system is Hcp, initially described as a hemolysin co-regulated protein in a

Enterotoxicity of El Tor-like hemolysin of non-O1 Vibrio cholerae [PDF]

open access: yesInfection and Immunity, 1987
The enterotoxicity of an El Tor-like hemolysin purified from non-O1 Vibrio cholerae was investigated. Fluid accumulation was induced by injection of purified hemolysin into the ligated intestinal loops in adult rabbits (De test), intraintestinal administration in infant rabbits (Dutta test), and oral inoculation in suckling mice.

Non-O1, non-O139 Vibrio cholerae bacteraemia in a cirrhotic patient [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Microbiology, 2010
Vibrio cholerae serogroups O1 or O139 are the aetiological agents of cholera. The pathogenicity of non-O1, non-O139 V. cholerae is less well known. These worldwide bacteria are responsible for gastrointestinal infections or, more rarely, bacteraemia in patients with an underlying disease, leading to life-threatening complications. We

A Human Intestinal Infection Caused by a Novel Non-O1/O139 Vibrio cholerae Genotype and Its Dissemination Along the River

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health, 2019
Non-O1/O139 Vibrio cholerae is increasingly reported in the clinical settings. However, intestinal infections via the consumption of non-O1/O139 V. cholerae-carrying seafood are rarely documented in China. In this study, we reported a case of mild watery

Investigating the Interactions Between Cyanobacteria and Vibrio parahaemolyticus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
One well-known pathogen that has been the topic of many recent studies is Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which causes thousands of foodborne illnesses a year, mostly from the ingestion of raw or undercooked oysters. It has been shown cyanobacteria can act as a
