Circulating phage type of Vibrio cholerae in Mysore.
A total of 14 strains of V. cholerae were isolated from 56 stool samples received from patients with acute diarrhoea who were admitted to the K.R. Hospital, Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, Mysore, between 2 May 2007 and 30 June 2007. The isolation was carried out using standard laboratory techniques at the Department of Microbiology, Mysore Medical College and Research Institute,...

A total of 200 faecal samples, received between January and December 2004 from patients with acute diarrhoea, were of patients with acute brucellosis (69 families) who were referred to Boo-Ali Hospital (Southeast Iran) were enrolled in this study and serologically screened for brucellosis using the standard agglutination test (SAT). Titer of 160 or more was considered positive and diagnostic Ti...
متن کاملPhage-bacterial interactions in the evolution of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae
Understanding the genetic and ecological factors which support the emergence of new clones of pathogenic bacteria is vital to develop preventive measures. Vibrio cholerae the causative agent of cholera epidemics represents a paradigm for this process in that this organism evolved from environmental non-pathogenic strains by acquisition of virulence genes. The major virulence factors of V. chole...
متن کاملPhage-induced change of toxigenesis in Vibrio cholerae.
A temperate phage coding for constitutive hypertoxigenicity has been constructed in Vibrio cholerae strain 569B and used to lysogenise the low-toxin-producing strain MAK 757; 18% of lysogens showed 10-100-fold increase in toxin production. This property was also transmitted at low frequency to second generation lysogens. Thus temperate phage can increase toxin production in a low-toxin-producin...
متن کاملMechanistic insights into filamentous phage integration in Vibrio cholerae
Vibrio cholerae, the etiological agent of acute diarrhoeal disease cholera, harbors large numbers of lysogenic filamentous phages, contribute significantly to the host pathogenesis and provide fitness factors to the pathogen that help the bacterium to survive in natural environment. Most of the vibriophage genomes are not equipped with integrase and thus exploit two host-encoded tyrosine recomb...
