The growth and survival of Vibrio cholerae O-1 and Vibrio cholerae non O-1 in foodstuffs, especially in shellfish was studied in order to cast some light on the ecology of cholera epidemic. Alteration in the number of Vibrio cholerae O-1 and Vibrio cholerae non O-1, stuck to raw fish and raw meat, drinks (cola, alkali ion drink, milk, coffee) and soy sauce was observed in a settled temperature ...

background: cholera, an infectious disease caused by vibrio cholerae , is primarily transmitted by ingestion of contaminated food or water. in severe cases, cholera may lead to severe dehydration, metabolic acidosis, and ultimately, hypovolemic shock and death.   methods: in this study v.cholerae non-o1 was cultured in suitable media. lps was extracted from the surface of  bacteria by hot pheno...

Vibrio cholerae are Gram-negative bacteria that are differentiated into O1/O139 and non-O1/non-O139 serogroups depending on their ability to agglutinate with specific antiserum. In contrast to non-O1/non-0139 Vibrio cholerae, which are more prone to invade the bloodstream, Vibrio cholerae O1 is rarely the cause of bacteremia. We report a case of O1 Vibrio cholera bacteremia and primary peritoni...

Few extraintestinal Vibrio infections have been reported in the African region. We report 3 cases from Mauritius: one case of Vibrio alginolyticus otitis externa; one case of soft tissue infection caused by non-O1 Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus; and one fatal case of non-O1 V. cholerae cellulitis and septicaemia.

Vibrio cholerae has been sporadically isolated from rivers in Tucumán, Argentina, since the outbreak in 1991. The aim of this study was to determine the environmental reservoir of the bacterium in these rivers, assessing the presence of Vibrio cholerae non-O1 and O1 (the latter both in its viable culturable and non culturable state) and its relationship to environmental physicochemical variable...

An increase in the occurrence of potentially pathogenic Vibrio species is expected for waters in Northern Europe as a consequence of global warming. In this context, a higher incidence of Vibrio infections is predicted for the future and forecasts suggest that people visiting and living at the Baltic Sea are at particular risk. This study aimed to investigate antimicrobial resistance patterns a...

this study was carried out to investigate the occurrence of potentially pathogenic species of vibrio in sea water and estuarine environments of the caspian sea in the golestan province of iran. a total of 127 water samples from coastal waters as well as from river and estuaries were collected and analyzed by culture, during april and september 2001. following prompt centrifugation, the resuspen...

Vibrio spp. of clinical interest from the Arno River basin (Tuscany, Italy) were investigated in this study. Vibrios were isolated from 70% of water samples. Vibrio cholerae non-O1 was the most prevalent species (82% of isolates), followed by Vibrio mimicus (10%) and Vibrio metschnikovii (8%). Recovery of vibrios was correlated with temperature, pH, and various indicators of municipal pollution...

A 71-year-old man with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) receiving treatment with azacitidine developed extensive watery diarrhea for three consecutive days. As a result of high-grade dehydration, the patient was urgently admitted to the hospital and fluid replacement therapy was initiated. However, the patient's diarrhea did not improve. Vibrio cholerae non-O1/non-O139 was detected in a fecal cul...
