Isolation and Identification of Vibrio cholerae Serogroups O1 and O139
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Isolation and identification of V. cholerae serogroups O1 and O139 can be greatly enhanced when optimal laboratory media and techniques are employed. The methods presented here are intended to be economical and to offer laboratorians some flexibility in choice of protocol and media. Laboratories that do not have sufficient resources to adopt the methods described in this chapter should consider sending the specimens or isolates to other laboratory facilities that routinely perform these procedures.

Rapid screening method for identification of cholera toxin-producing Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139.
A novel method of identifying cholera enterotoxin (CT)-producing Vibrio cholerae serogroups O1 and O139 was developed. The method uses degradation of NAD as a specific biochemical marker for the CT-producing strains. The substrate NAD at a concentration of 100 mumol/liter was markedly degraded when it was incubated at 37 degrees C for 2 h with the CT-producing stains at a final cell density equ...

متن کاملDiversity of Vibrio cholerae strains isolated in Delhi, India, during 1992-2000.
The National Institute of Communicable Diseases (NICD), Delhi, India, conducts a laboratory-based surveillance of cholera cases referred from the Infectious Disease Hospital, Delhi. The prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibilities of Vibrio cholerae O1, O139, and others, isolated from cholera patients for nine years, were analyzed to determine the changing trends in their isolation and drug-re...
متن کاملO Serogroup-Specific Touchdown-Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction for Detection and Identification of Vibrio cholerae O1, O139, and Non-O1/Non-O139
A novel, sensitive locus-specific touchdown-multiplex polymerase chain reaction (TMPCR), which is based on two-stage amplification pertaining to multiplex PCR and conditional touchdown strategy, was used in detecting and differentiating Vibrio cholerae serogroups. A panel of molecular marker-based TMPCR method generates reproducible profiles of V. cholerae-specific (588 bp) amplicons derived fr...
متن کاملPhage types of Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 in the past decade in India.
Cholera has been a prevalent disease worldwide since the early 19th century. Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 are the two serogroups that have been mainly implicated in causing cholera. This study reports the results of biotyping, serotyping and phage typing of V. cholerae O1 and O139 (1998-2007) strains received from different parts of India for the identification of the trends in the occurrence an...
