Abstract
Cholera in Mozambique, Variant of<i>Vibrio cholerae</i>
Highlights
Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis. 2001;20:765–9
The classical and El Tor biotypes of V. cholerae O1 are closely related in their O-antigen biosynthetic genes but differ in other regions of the genome
By using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), we established that all 40 strains carried the ctxA gene and the tcpA gene, a constituent gene of the vibrio pathogenicity island
Summary
Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis. 2001;20:765–9. The classical and El Tor biotypes of V. cholerae O1 are closely related in their O-antigen biosynthetic genes but differ in other regions of the genome. The genomic structure of the CTXΦ filamentous phage (1), in which the cholera toxin genes are contained, differs between the classical and El Tor biotypes.
