Identification of VCR, a repeated sequence associated with a locus encoding a hemagglutinin in Vibrio cholerae O1.
We have determined the nucleotide sequence of a 6.3-kb BamHI fragment of the chromosome of Vibrio cholerae 569B that includes the sequence of the mannose-fucose-resistant hemagglutinin reported previously (V.L. Franzon, A. Barker, and P. A. Manning, Infect. Immun. 61:3032-3037, 1993). This region contains nine copies of a 124-bp direct repeat, here named VCR, of imperfect dyad symmetry, that ar...
متن کاملTetracycline-Resistant Vibrio cholerae O1, Kolkata, India
To the Editor: Cholera, caused by toxigenic strains of Vibrio cholerae O1 or O139, continues to be a major cause of illness and death, particularly in developing countries. Treatment consists of early administration of rehydration therapy with appropriate oral or intravenous fl uids. The World Health Organization recommends antimicrobial drug treatment for severely dehydrated patients with susp...
متن کاملImmune response to the mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin in patients with cholera due to Vibrio cholerae O1 and O0139.
The mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin (MSHA) is a type 4 pilus present in Vibrio cholerae O1 strains of the El Tor biotype, as well as in strains of serogroup O139. It has been shown to be a colonization antigen in animal models. The aim of this study was to investigate systemic and local antibody responses to MSHA in adult patients with cholera due to V. cholerae O1 and O139. Twenty-four of 28 (...
متن کاملGenome Sequence of Non-O1 Vibrio cholerae PS15
The draft genome sequence of a non-O1 Vibrio cholerae strain, PS15, organized into 3,512 open reading frames within a 3.9-Mb genome, was determined. The PS15 genome sequence will allow for the study of the evolution of virulence and environmental adaptation in V. cholerae.
متن کاملconstruction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers
the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...
