Detection of Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 in environmental water samples by an immunofluorescent-aggregation assay.
Environmental waters are an important reservoir for Vibrio cholerae, and effective surveillance of the pathogen can help to warn of and prevent infection with this potentially fatal pathogen. An immunofluorescent-aggregation (IFAG) assay to detect V. cholerae O1 and O139 was established and evaluated with estuarine water samples. The practical application of this assay was compared with the con...
متن کاملQuorum-sensing autoinducers resuscitate dormant Vibrio cholerae in environmental water samples.
Cholera epidemics have long been known to spread through water contaminated with human fecal material containing the toxigenic bacterium Vibrio cholerae. However, detection of V. cholerae in water is complicated by the existence of a dormant state in which the organism remains viable, but resists cultivation on routine bacteriological media. Growth in the mammalian intestine has been reported t...
متن کاملDirect detection of Vibrio cholerae in stool samples.
A direct method to detect Vibrio cholerae in stool samples was developed by using a PCR procedure that did not require a DNA purification step. Dilution (1/100) of stool samples prevented inhibition of the reaction by contaminants, and two consecutive PCRs, the second one with a nested primer, achieved the desired sensitivity. Comparison of the results obtained from stool swab samples processed...
متن کاملEffect of transport at ambient temperature on detection and isolation of Vibrio cholerae from environmental samples.
It has long been assumed that prolonged holding of environmental samples at the ambient air temperature prior to bacteriological analysis is detrimental to isolation and detection of Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of pandemic cholera. The present study was aimed at understanding the effect of transporting environmental samples at the ambient air temperature on isolation and enumeration of...
متن کاملTriplex reverse transcription-PCR for detecting viable toxigenic Vibrio cholerae in water samples in Thailand.
Abstract. Detection of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O1/O139 in aquatic environment is difficult to achieve using the culture method. For direct detection of viable toxigenic V. cholerae in aquatic environment, we developed a triplex reverse transcription (RT)-PCR, targeting genes for the outer membrane protein (ompW), cholera toxin A (ctxA) and toxin-coregulated pilli (tcpA) and compared the assay...
