Abstract
<i>Vibrio cholerae</i>O1 El Tor and O139 Bengal Strains Carrying<i>ctxB</i><sup>ET</sup>, Bangladesh
Highlights
3 O139 strains carrying ctxBET were isolated from surface water in Dhaka
The confirmed V. cholerae O1 and O139 Bengal strains carrying ctxBET were of particular interest because altered El Tor (ET) strains carrying ctxB gene of the CL biotype (ctxBCL) have been deemed the cause of endemic cholera in Bangladesh since 2001 [4] and globally [10]
NotI-digested genomic DNA showed identical banding patterns for the 4 V. cholerae O1 strains carrying ctxBET and the pre-2001 ET strains, including N16961, and the DNA pattern differed from that of the altered ET associated with endemic cholera in Bangladesh (Figure)
