Survival of Vibrio cholerae O1 on fomites

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2016
It is well established that the contamination sources of cholera causing bacteria, Vibrio cholerae, are water and food, but little is known about the transmission role of the fomites (surfaces that can carry pathogens) commonly used in households. In the absence of appropriate nutrients or growth conditions on fomites, bacteria have been known to ...

A serogroup of non-O1 Vibrio cholerae possessing the Inaba antigen of Vibrio cholerae O1

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 1988
A serogroup of non‐O1 Vibrio cholerae , tentatively named Hakata, possessing the C (Inaba) factor but not the B (Ogawa) and A factors of V. cholerae O1 is described. Strains of this serogroup were isolated from river and estuarine waters and from frozen

Freshwater Non-O1 Vibrio cholerae Infection

Southern Medical Journal, 2010
It is not appreciated by most physicians that vibrio infections can be acquired from freshwater exposure. A case of non-O1 Vibrio cholerae urinary tract infection associated with freshwater exposure is reported. The potential for vibrios to grow in brachish water and for summer heat to cause evaporation leading to relative increased salinity in ...

Vibrio cholerae O1 serotype Ogawa in a neonate

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1999
In India, cholera is endemic and affects usually the 3 to 5-year-old age group. There have been occasional reports in the neonatal period with Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal. We report here a case of Vibrio cholerae O1 diarrhea in a 2-day-old, breastfed male, who had been delivered in the hospital and developed severe dehydration.

Evolution of new variants of Vibrio cholerae O1

Trends in Microbiology, 2010
Vibrio cholerae typically contains a prophage that carries the genes encoding the cholera toxin, which is responsible for the major clinical symptoms of the disease. In recent years, new pathogenic variants of V. cholerae have emerged and spread throughout many Asian and African countries.

Viability of the Nonculturable Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139

Systematic and Applied Microbiology, 2001
Vibrio cholerae is capable of transforming into a viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state, and, in doing so, undergoes alteration in cell morphology. In the study reported here, Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 cells were maintained in laboratory microcosms prepared with 1% Instant Ocean and incubated at 4 degrees C, i.e., conditions which induce the VBNC ...

Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 in northeast Thailand

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1990
Strains of Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 biotype El Tor that are susceptible to Mukerjee cholera bacteriophage group IV (S. Mukerjee, Bull. W.H.O. 28:333-336, 1963) were found. Cholera vibrios isolated from epidemics in northeast Thailand were characterized, and 57 of 60 strains isolated in 1986 were susceptible to cholera phage IV.

Vibrio cholerae non-O1 in Colombia

Water Research, 1997
Abstract Six hundred and ninety colonies from 11 water samples were tested for V. cholerae and other vibrio species. Four isolates of V. cholerae non-O1 were isolated besides a few other vibrios. Isolates of V. cholerae were found to be toxin-negative and resistance to most antibiotics.

The Vibrio cholerae O1 chromosomal integron.

Microbiology (Reading, England), 2001
Until the discovery of the Vibrio cholerae repeat (VCR), the gene capture and expression systems termed integrons had been typically associated with antibiotic-resistance gene cassettes with usually less than five genes in an array. A method is described for the cloning of the ends of large cassette arrays.

O1 and non-O1 Vibrio cholerae bacteremia produced by hemolytic strains

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2006
Vibrio cholerae are Gram-negative bacteria capable of producing serious infections. They are differentiated into O1 and non-O1 serogroups, depending on their ability to agglutinate with specific antiserum. In contrast to non-O1 V. cholerae, which are more prone to invading the bloodstream, V. cholerae O1 is rarely the cause of bacteremia. We describe 2
