Circulating phage type of Vibrio cholerae in Mysore.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A total of 14 strains of V. cholerae were isolated from 56 stool samples received from patients with acute diarrhoea who were admitted to the K.R. Hospital, Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, Mysore, between 2 May 2007 and 30 June 2007. The isolation was carried out using standard laboratory techniques at the Department of Microbiology, Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, Mysore.

متن کاملPhage types of Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 in the past decade in India.
Cholera has been a prevalent disease worldwide since the early 19th century. Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 are the two serogroups that have been mainly implicated in causing cholera. This study reports the results of biotyping, serotyping and phage typing of V. cholerae O1 and O139 (1998-2007) strains received from different parts of India for the identification of the trends in the occurrence an...
متن کاملDevelopment and evaluation of a phage typing scheme for Vibrio cholerae O139.
The scenario of cholera that existed previously changed in 1992 and 1993 with the emergence of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O139 in India. The genesis of the new serogroup formed the impetus to search for O139 phages in and around the country. A total of five newly isolated phages lytic to V. cholerae O139 strains were used for the development of this phage typing scheme. These phages differed fro...
متن کاملThe Resistance of Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor Strains to the Typing Phage 919TP, a Member of K139 Phage Family
Bacteriophage 919TP is a temperate phage of Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 El Tor and is used as a subtyping phage in the phage-biotyping scheme in cholera surveillance in China. In this study, sequencing of the 919TP genome showed that it belonged to the Vibrio phage K139 family. The mechanisms conferring resistance to 919TP infection of El Tor strains were explored to help understand the subtyp...

Vibrio cholerae is the cause of large cholera outbreaks, especially in endemic regions with high poverty and inadequate sanitation. Here, we announce the complete genome sequence of the virulence-associated broad host range V. cholerae phage VcP032, including a brief summary of its genotypic and phenotypic features.
