Core and accessory genomic traits of Vibrio cholerae O1 drive lineage transmission and disease severity. Nature Communications , 2024; 15 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-52238-0 Cite This Page : ...

The evolutionary history of the pandemic Vibrio cholerae lineage shows that its emergence has not been linear, but shaped by several key genetic bottlenecks that explain its rarity. From a group ...

Here we determine the complete genomic sequence of the Gram negative, γ-Proteobacterium Vibrio cholerae El Tor N16961 to be 4,033,460 base pairs (bp). The genome consists of two circular ...

V. cholerae choleraeis found naturally on various surfaces within marine environments.When water or food contaminated with V. cholerae is consumed by humans, it colonizes the gastrointestinal tract ...

Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio vulnificus, and non‐O1/non‐O139 Vibrio cholerae are the species of highest relevance for public health in the EU through seafood consumption, according to the ...

The CDC said many infections from Vibrio vulnificus — which has killed at least 13 this year — are acquired after an open wound is exposed to warm coastal waters.

Vibrio is a naturally occurring bacteria that is moving north up the East Coast as water temperature rises. Here’s what do to do if you think you’ve been infected.
