Vibrio cholerae O139 is the first non-O1 serogroup of V. cholerae to give rise to epidemic
cholera. Apparently, this new serogroup arose from an El Tor O1 strain of V cholerae, but V …

A multiplex polymerase chain reaction assay was developed for concurrent detection of rfb
sequences specific for the O1 and the O139 serogroups of Vibrio cholerae and for ctxA …

The sixth pandemic of cholera and, presumably, the earlier pandemics were caused by the

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) genes have many of the characteristics of PAIs but also differ in
significant ways. Lipopolysaccharide differs from the products of most PAI genes in that it is …

The O antigen, consisting of many repeats of an oligosaccharide unit, is part of the

Despite nearly 200 years of study, the mechanisms contributing to the maintenance of
endemic cholera and the causes of periodic epidemics remain poorly understood. To …

There have been seven pandemics of cholera in recorded history. Even though the
