Role of temperate phage in determining lytic phage sensitivity and serotype of Vibrio cholerae.
The effect of lysogenization with five temperate phages from various sources on serotype and lytic phage sensitivity was investigated in six cultures of Vibrio cholerae of both classical and El Tor biotypes. No changes in serotype or in classical phage sensitivity in the classical biotype were observed. Four of the temperate phages were homoimmune and induced resistance to one of the El Tor typ...
متن کاملTransmission of Vibrio cholerae Is Antagonized by Lytic Phage and Entry into the Aquatic Environment
Cholera outbreaks are proposed to propagate in explosive cycles powered by hyperinfectious Vibrio cholerae and quenched by lytic vibriophage. However, studies to elucidate how these factors affect transmission are lacking because the field experiments are almost intractable. One reason for this is that V. cholerae loses the ability to culture upon transfer to pond water. This phenotype is calle...
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 کاملCirculating 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,...
