Variations in SXT elements in epidemic Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor strains in China
Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor biotype strains are responsible for three multiyear epidemics of cholera in China during the seventh ongoing pandemic. The presence of the integrative conjugative element SXT is strongly correlated with resistance to nalidixic ...

Diagnosis of Vibrio cholerae O1 Infection in Africa [PDF]
Isolation of Vibrio cholerae O1 is necessary for cholera outbreak confirmation. Rapid diagnostic testing of fecal specimens, based on lipopolysaccharide detection of V. cholerae O1 or O139, may assist in early outbreak detection and surveillance. Cary-Blair transport medium is recommended for specimen transport. Filter paper, although used in epidemics,

Water sources as reservoirs of Vibrio choleraeO1 and non-O1 strains in Bepanda, Douala (Cameroon): relationship between isolation and physico-chemical factors [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Cholera has been endemic in Douala since 1971. Most outbreaks start from Bepanda, an overcrowded neighbourhood with poor hygiene and sanitary conditions. We investigated water sources in Bepanda as reservoirs of Vibrio cholerae, the causative

New qnr Gene Cassettes Associated with Superintegron Repeats in Vibrio cholerae O1
A novel qnr determinant emerged in ciprofloxacin-resistant Vibrio cholerae O1 from the Amazon region of Brazil. This qnrVC1 was in a typical class 1 integron. Its attC showed 89% identity with V. parahaemolyticus superintegron repeats. Analysis showed V.

Quorum Sensing Regulation of the Two hcp Alleles in Vibrio cholerae O1 Strains
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

Risk factors for cholera mortality: A scoping review
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.

Molecular Characterization Of Vibrio Species Isolated From Seawater [PDF]
A study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Vibrio species in seawater samples obtained from the coast of Malacca, Penang (Batu Feringgi , George Town), and Terengganu, respectively. Four Vibrio cholerae 0139, 10 V.

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.
