Emergence and evolution of Vibrio cholerae O139.
The emergence of Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal during 1992-1993 was associated with large epidemics of cholera in India and Bangladesh and, initially, with a total displacement of the existing V. cholerae O1 strains. However, the O1 strains reemerged in 1994 and initiated a series of disappearance and reemergence of either of the two serogroups that was associated with temporal genetic and phenot...
متن کاملReemergence of Epidemic Vibrio cholerae O139, Bangladesh
During March and April 2002, a resurgence of Vibrio cholerae O139 occurred in Dhaka and adjoining areas of Bangladesh with an estimated 30,000 cases of cholera. Patients infected with O139 strains were much older than those infected with O1 strains (p<0.001). The reemerged O139 strains belong to a single ribotype corresponding to one of two ribotypes that caused the initial O139 outbreak in 199...
متن کاملInduction of fimbriated Vibrio cholerae O139.
Several fimbriated phases of Vibrio cholerae O139 strains were selectively induced and compared immunologically and biochemically with those of V. cholerae O1. Fimbrial antigens were detected on the surfaces of vibrio cells colonizing the epithelial cells of a rabbit small intestine. Convalescent-phase sera from six individuals infected with V. cholerae O139 revealed the development of antibody...
متن کاملCharacterization of phenotypic, serological, and toxigenic traits of Vibrio cholerae O139 bengal.
Biochemical and physiological traits of a collection of strains of Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal isolated from India, Bangladesh, and Thailand showed that these strains formed a phenotypically homogeneous group with identical characteristics that were essentially similar to those of the O1 serogroup. Resistance to 150 micrograms of the vibriostatic agent O/129 (2,4-diamino-6,7-diisopropylpteridin...
متن کاملIsolation and Identification of Vibrio cholerae Serogroups O1 and O139
Isolation and identification of V. cholerae serogroups O1 and O139 can be greatly enhanced when optimal laboratory media and techniques are employed. The methods presented here are intended to be economical and to offer laboratorians some flexibility in choice of protocol and media. Laboratories that do not have sufficient resources to adopt the methods described in this chapter should consider...
