چکیده

An Elek test for enterotoxin-producing strains of Vibrio cholerae is described. Thirty-five out of 37 strains of classical V. cholerae produced positive reactions, but only 1 of 69 E1 Tor vibrio strains was reactive. Tox(-) mutants of V. cholerae were also unreactive in the Elek test.

Enhancement of enterotoxin production by carbon dioxide in Vibrio cholerae.

We found that Vibrio cholerae 569B produced much more cholera enterotoxin in the presence of added carbon dioxide than in its absence. An atmosphere of 10% carbon dioxide was optimal for maximal enterotoxin production.

In vitro production of enterotoxin and hemorrhagic principle by Vibrio cholerae, NAG.

In vitro production of enterotoxin by Vibrio cholerae, NAG isolated from human diarrheal cases in India, the Philippines and Sudan was tested. Of a total of 41 strains tested, 8 proved to produce the toxin characterized by permeability-increasing activity in the guinea pig skin. Characterization of the toxin produced by a representative strain was also made in comparison with cholera enterotoxi...

In vitro evaluation of capsaicin inhibitory effects on zonula occludens toxin in vibrio cholerae ATCC14035 strain

Background: Cholera is a potentially epidemic and life-threatening secretory diarrhoea characterized by voluminous watery stools, often accompanied by vomiting, and resulting in hypovolemic shock and acidosis. It is caused by certain strains of the species Vibrio cholerae which can also cause mild or in apparent infections. The aim of this study is the evaluation of Capsaicin, as a potential in...

Determination of ctxAB expression in Vibrio cholerae Classical and El Tor strains using Real-Time PCR

Cholera is an infection of the small intestines caused by the bacterium V. cholerae. It is a major cause of health threat and also a major cause of death worldwide and especially in developing countries. The major virulence factor produced by V. cholerae during infection is the cholera toxin. Total mRNA extraction and reverse transcription was performed for making ctxAB cDNA. Relative Real-Time...
