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 کاملMultiple Antibiotic Resistance of Vibrio cholerae Serogroup O139 in China from 1993 to 2009
Regarded as an emerging diarrheal micropathogen, Vibrio cholerae serogroup O139 was first identified in 1992 and has become an important cause of cholera epidemics over the last two decades. O139 strains have been continually isolated since O139 cholera appeared in China in 1993, from sporadic cases and dispersed foodborne outbreaks, which are the common epidemic types of O139 cholera in China....
متن کاملTetracycline in the treatment of severe cholera due to Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal.
Vibrio cholerae O139 synonym Bengal, recognized in 1993, is the second member in the list of about 200 serogroups of V. cholerae with epidemic and pandemic potential. Although replacement of fluids and electrolytes remains the cornerstone in the management of cholera, antimicrobial therapy can significantly shorten the duration of diarrhoea, and reduce stool volume and requirements ofrehydratio...
متن کاملMultiple antibiotic resistance profiles of Vibrio cholerae non-O1 and non-O139.
In this study, the patterns of resistance to 10 antibiotics by 730 Vibrio cholerae non-O1 and non-O139 species isolated from both environmental and seafood samples were investigated. Susceptibility to different antimicrobial agents was assessed by the disc diffusion technique. The frequencies of resistance to 10 antimicrobial agents--ampicillin, chloramphenicol, bacitracin, erythromycin, gentam...
متن کاملMultidrug resistance in Vibrio cholerae.
Cholera continues to be endemic in a large geographical tract covering a number of states in the eastern, western and southern parts of India. Even though V. cholerae non-01 has been reported from some parts of Delhi(l), V. cholerae-01 biotype Eltor continues to be the main etiological agent identified from Delhi(2). Rapid replacement of fluid and electrolyte using oral rehydration therapy or i...
