Risk factors for cholera mortality: A scoping review

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 5, Page 332-350, May 2025.
Abstract Objectives Cholera is an easily treatable disease, but many people are still unnecessarily dying from it. To improve current case management practices and prevent mortality requires a comprehensive understanding of who is at higher risk of dying.

Host Factor Induced Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles Promote Horizontal Gene Transfer in Vibrio cholerae

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.
Antimicrobial stressors, that is, bile or mitomycin C, induce enlarged, nucleic acid‐rich bacterial extracellular vesicles in Vibrio cholerae that facilitate horizontal gene transfer in vitro and during intestinal colonisation. The findings provide a detailed comparison of control versus stress‐induced vesicles, identify bile as a host factor shaping ...

Phosphate Limitation Modulates Vibrio Cholerae Outer Membrane Vesicle Formation, Composition and Toxicity

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 5, May 2026.
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.

Pandemic Vibrio cholerae and the Environmental Reservoir Hypothesis—Outstanding Questions Central to Global Cholera Control

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 5, May 2026.
Whether, when and for how long pandemic Vibrio cholerae forms long‐term environmental reservoirs remains uncertain. We propose a new framework to evaluate possible mechanisms by which the pathogen might experience reservoir formation versus environmental elimination.
