Phenotypic and genotypic biotyping of environmental strains of Vibrio cholerae non-O1 isolated in Italy.
The purpose of this study was to characterize strains of Vibrio cholerae non-O1 isolated in Italy from different sources by biochemical and serological assays, antibiotic susceptibility testing, and molecular biotyping. Serotyping and genomic analysis by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis proved to be useful in discriminating the isolates. The data obtained show a wide heterogeneity at the genomi...
متن کاملBiotyping of Vibrio cholerae O1: time to redefine the scheme.
Considering the recent emergence of "hybrid biotype" and "El Tor variant", we propose to redefine the biotyping scheme for Vibrio cholerae O1 serogroup. The existing biotyping scheme has limitations and causes confusion as many of the hybrid biotype and El Tor variant strains have phenotypic and genetic changes. A revised biotyping scheme will play a significant role to understand the ecology, ...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of Vibrio cholerae O1, O139, non-O1, and non-O139 strains: clonal relationships between clinical and environmental isolates.
A total of 26 strains of Vibrio cholerae, including members of the O1, O139, and non-O1, non-O139 serogroups from both clinical and environmental sources, were examined for the presence of genes encoding cholera toxin (ctxA), zonula occludens toxin (zot), accessory cholera enterotoxin (ace), hemolysin (hlyA), NAG-specific heat-stable toxin (st), toxin-coregulated pilus (tcpA), and outer membran...
متن کاملNewly Isolated Vibrio cholerae Non-O1, Non-O139 Phages
Although cytologic examination of CSF from patients with encephalitis is likely nonspecific, it may provide supportive information of the suspected disease process, and is useful for excluding other conditions, such as neoplasia. Of the 22 patients that were hospitalized at our institution last year with WNV meningoencephalitis, documented by serologic tests and/or reverse transcription-polymer...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of Vibrio cholerae O1 and non-O1 from human and environmental sources in Malaysia.
A total of 31 strains of Vibrio cholerae O1 (10 from outbreak cases and 7 from surface water) and non-O1 (4 from clinical and 10 from surface water sources) isolated between 1993 and 1997 were examined with respect to presence of cholera enterotoxin (CT) gene by PCR-based assays, resistance to antibiotics, plasmid profiles and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. All were resistant...
