A PCR that amplifies a recently discovered Vibrio cholerae RTX (repeat in toxin) toxin gene was developed. Among 166 clinical and environmental isolates of V. cholerae causing epidemics and sporadic cases of cholera in various parts of the world, all were found to be toxigenic by both PCR and HEp-2 cell cytotoxicity assay. Standard strains of the classical biotype containing a deletion within t...
Background Cholera is a severe dehydrating illness of humans caused by toxigenic strains of Vibrio cholerae O1 or O139. Identification of immunogenic V. cholerae antigens could lead to a better understanding of protective immunity in human cholera. Methods We probed microarrays containing 3652 V. cholerae antigens with plasma and antibody-in-lymphocyte supernatant (ALS, a surrogate marker of ...
Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal has recently been identified as a cause of epidemic cholera in Asia. In contrast to V. cholerae O1, V. cholerae O139 Bengal has a polysaccharide capsule. As determined by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance analysis, the capsular polysaccharide of V. cholerae O139 Bengal strain Al1837 has six residues in the repeating subu...
Pathogenic non-O1/non-O139 Vibrio cholerae strains can cause sporadic outbreaks of cholera worldwide. In this study, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of seven housekeeping genes was applied to 55 non-O1/non-O139 isolates from clinical and environmental sources. Data from five published O1 isolates and 17 genomes were also included, giving a total of 77 isolates available for analysis. There we...
Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae strains are lysogens of CTXPhi, a filamentous phage which encodes cholera toxin. The receptor for CTXPhi for invading V. cholerae cells is the toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP), the genes for which reside in a larger genetic element, the TCP pathogenicity island. We analyzed 146 CTX-negative strains of V. cholerae O1 or non-O1 isolated from patients or surface waters in fi...
OBJECTIVES In countries where cholera is endemic, Vibrio cholerae O1 bacteriophages have been detected in sewage water. These have been used to serve not only as strain markers, but also for the typing of V. cholerae strains. Vibriophage N4 (ATCC 51352-B1) occupies a unique position in the new phage-typing scheme and can infect a larger number of V. cholerae O1 biotype El Tor strains. Here we c...
An extracellular exopolysaccharide (slime) is produced by Vibrio cholerae O139 MO10 in response to nutrient starvation. The presence of this slime layer on the cell surface and its subsequent release have been shown to be associated with biofilm formation and the change from a normal smooth colony morphology to a rugose one. An immunoelectron microscopic examination demonstrated that there is a...
The most common clinical manifestation of Vibrio cholerae non-O1 non-O139 is gastroenteritis. This vibrion may also cause bacteremia, soft tissue infection, and other extraintestinal invasive disease, especially in immunocompromised patients. This study evaluated the current status of antimicrobial resistance in clinical isolates of V. cholerae non-O1 non-O139 in Taiwan as part of the SMART (Su...
Vibrio cholerae non-O1/non-O139 is capable of producing sporadic outbreaks of cholera-like diarrhea; however, the pathogenic mechanisms of this bacterium remain unclear. The objectives of this study were to: 1) compare the apoptosis induction and cytotoxicity between hlyA-positive and hlyA-negative strains of V. cholerae non-O1/non-O139; 2) clarify the molecular mechanisms by which these strain...
