Antiserum to the capsular polysaccharide of an opaque variant of Vibrio cholerae O139 strain MDO-12 recognizes capsular antigen in three different colonial variants of the strain, although the amount of recognition varies with the extent of opacity. The anti-capsular-polysaccharide serum, at subagglutinating doses, protected suckling mice against challenge with both the most opaque variant and ...

Cholera in the nineteenth century has proved an enduring topic for historians. In 1961 Asa Briggs called for analysis of cholera as an under-utilized yet potentially powerful tool for the emerging discipline of social history.2 Researchers in the field responded with a plethora of works on this most brutal of epidemic diseases. Despite methodological and interpretative differences, the literatu...

We report here the first draft genome sequence of the non-O1/non-O139 Vibrio cholerae strain VcN1, isolated from Dhaka, Bangladesh. The data submitted to GenBank for this strain will contribute to advancing our understanding of this environmentally disseminated bacterium, including its virulence and its evolution as an important pathogen.

An epidemic of a cholera-like disease occurred among Khmers in a camp in Aranyaprathet, Thailand, in May 1990. Of 215 patients with diarrhea, Vibrio cholerae O1 was isolated from 25 (12%) and V. cholerae non-O1 was isolated from 15 (7%). Five of 15 (33%) non-O1 V. cholerae isolates hybridized with two different oligonucleotide probes previously used to detect V. cholerae non-O1 that produces a ...

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...

The occurrence, diversity, and pathogenicity of Vibrio spp. were investigated in two estuaries along the Italian Adriatic coast. Vibrio alginolyticus was the predominant species, followed by Vibrio parahaemolyticus, non-O1 Vibrio cholerae, and Vibrio vulnificus. By using a biochemical fingerprinting method, all isolates were grouped into nine phenotypes with similarity levels of 75 to 97.5%. Th...

In recent years, three groups of non-cholera vibrio possessing antigenic factor(s) in common with 0 1 Vibrio cholerae have been isolated in Japan, i.e. Vibrio bioserogroup 1875 [1], Vibriofluvialis Kobe [2] and non-Ol V. cholerae bioserogroup Hakata [3]. Isolation and chemical as well as serological characterizations, in particular, compositional sugar analysis, of their lipopolysaccharides (LP...

aims: cholera is an acute diarrheal disease that can lead to severe dehydration and death. antibiotic resistance is a big challenge in infective disease like cholera. the present study aimed to understand the characteristics and trends of antibiotic resistance of v. cholerae isolations in and around kashan, iran. instrument & methods: in this descriptive cross-sectional study, samples were gath...
