    Extractions: Cholera Cholera is an acute intestinal infection caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It has a short incubation period, from less than one day to five days, and produces an enterotoxin that causes a copious, painless, watery diarrhoea that can quickly lead to severe dehydration and death if treatment is not promptly given. Vomiting also occurs in most patients. Most persons infected with V. cholerae do not become ill, although the bacterium is present in their faeces for 7-14 days. When illness does occur, more than 90% of episodes are of mild or moderate severity and are difficult to distinguish clinically from other types of acute diarrhoea. Less than 10% of ill persons develop typical cholera with signs of moderate or severe dehydration.

    Extractions: Introduction The genus Vibrio consists of Gram-negative straight or curved rods, motile by means of a single polar flagellum. Vibrios are capable of both respiratory and fermentative metabolism. O is a universal electron acceptor; they do not denitrify. Most species are oxidase-positive. In most ways vibrios are related to enteric bacteria, but they share some properties with pseudomonads a well. The Family Vibrionaceae is found in the "Facultatively Anaerobic Gram-negative Rods" in Bergey's Manual (1986), on the level with the Family Enterobacteriaceae . In the revisionist taxonomy of 2001 (Bergey's Manual), based on phylogenetic analysis, Vibrionaceae Pseudomonadaceae and Enterobacteriaceae are all landed in the Gammaproteobacteria. Vibrios are distinguished from enterics by being oxidase-positive and motile by means of polar flagella. Vibrios are distinguished from pseudomonads by being fermentative as well as oxidative in their metabolism. Of the vibrios that are clinically significant to humans, Vibrio cholerae

Story Tools SPECIAL REPORT Interactive: The U.S. and Liberia Profile: Charles Taylor Map: West Africa Fact Sheet: Liberia MONROVIA, Liberia (Reuters) A cholera epidemic is raging in Liberia's capital, where hundreds of thousands of displaced people are living in overcrowded camps with little sanitation, a World Health Organisation (WHO) official said. Data collected from aid agencies running hospitals and clinics across Monrovia showed that 1,203 new cases of cholera were registered between August 11-17, up from 727 cases in the previous week. Omar Khatib, the WHO representative in the West African country, told Reuters late on Sunday that the figure compared with an average of 300 to 400 new cases per week usually registered in the coastal city at the peak of the rainy season, when cholera outbreaks are more common. "This is a very big number. It's the result of the big influx of people into the city during the fighting and the fact that these people are living in overcrowded camps with no sanitation,'' Khatib said.

    Extractions: Vibrio cholerae Serogroup O1 This bacterium is responsible for Asiatic or epidemic cholera. No major outbreaks of this disease have occurred in the United States since 1911. However, sporadic cases occurred between 1973 and 1991, suggesting the possible reintroduction of the organism into the U.S. marine and estuarine environment. The cases between 1973 and 1991 were associated with the consumption of raw shellfish or of shellfish either improperly cooked or re-contaminated after proper cooking. Environmental studies have demonstrated that strains of this organism may be found in the temperate estuarine and marine coastal areas surrounding the United States. In 1991 cholera was reported for the first time in this century in South America, starting in Peru. The outbreaks quickly grew to epidemic proportions and spread to other South American and Central American countries, and into Mexico. 1,099,882 cases and 10,453 deaths were reported in the Western Hemisphere between January 1991 and July 1995. Although the South American strain of V. cholerae O1 has been isolated from Gulf Coast waters, presumably transmitted by ships off-loading contaminated ballast water, no cases of cholera have been attributed to fish or shellfish harvested from U.S. waters. However, over 100 cases of cholera caused by the South American strain have been reported in the United States. These cases were travelers returning from South America, or were associated with illegally smuggled, temperature-abused crustaceans from South America.

"Determining the genomic sequence of medically important pathogens such as Vibrio cholerae holds enormous promise for helping us fight some of the world's most intractable infectious diseases," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which funded the project.

    Extractions: skip to main content Information for a Healthy New York Search this site: You are Here: Home Page Communicable Disease Cholera What is cholera? Cholera is a bacterial disease that affects the intestinal tract. It is caused by a germ called Vibrio cholerae. Although only a few cases are recognized in the United States each year, epidemic levels of cholera have recently been reported in parts of Central and South America. Who gets cholera? While cholera is a rare disease in the U. S. , those who may be at risk include people traveling to foreign countries where outbreaks are occurring and people who consume raw or undercooked seafood from warm coastal waters subject to sewage contamination. In both instances, the risk is small. How is the germ spread? The cholera germ is passed in the stools. It is spread by eating or drinking food or water contaminated by the fecal waste of an infected person. This occurs more often in underdeveloped countries lacking adequate water supplies and proper sewage disposal. What are the symptoms of cholera?

    Extractions: Cholera is an acute infectious disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, which lives and multiples (colonizes) in the small intestine but does not destroy or invade the intestinal tissue (noninvasive). The major symptom of cholera is massive watery diarrhea that occurs because of a toxin secreted by the bacteria that stimulates the cells of the small intestine to secrete fluid. There are several strains of V. cholerae and the severity of the disease is based on the particular infectious strain.
