There are at least 200 bacteriophage species that infect V. cholerae, known as vibriophages102,103. Natural variability in the innate immune response may affect susceptibility, suggested by the finding that a polymorphism in the promoter region of the LPLUNC1 (long palate, lung and nasal epithelium carcinoma-associated protein 1) gene is associated with increased risk of cholera.

Virulence factors are bacteria-associated molecules that are required for a bacterium to cause disease while infecting eukaryotic hosts such as humans. Nature 436, 696700 (2005). This paper proposes that lytic bacteriophages increase in density in the environment to limit the duration of cholera outbreaks. 129154 (Plenum Medical Book Co., New York, 1992). In 19151917, Twort114 and d'Hrelle115 independently discovered bacteriophages. Several review articles covering the importance of environmental drivers in promoting cholera outbreaks have been published24,25,26. Infecting the human host is a multistage process: V. cholerae must be ingested at a dose that is sufficient to overcome innate immune defences, then express virulence factors to colonize the small intestine and, finally, coordinate an exit from the host to facilitate transmission63 (Fig. The associations are generally not accidental. Waldor, M. K., Colwell, R. & Mekalanos, J. J. Huq, A. et al. Sci. This phenotype was traditionally known as the 'viable but non-culturable' (VBNC) state, because the cells maintain the capacity for basic metabolic processes such as protein synthesis, respiration and maintenance of membrane integrity despite their inability to be cultured24. Infect. Slider with three articles shown per slide. Only a subset of O1 and O139 serogroup strains are toxigenic (Tox+) and therefore capable of causing cholera when ingested; such strains are selected for in the host. Abstract. Cholera often begins with stomach cramps and vomiting followed by diarrhoea, which may progress to fluid losses of up to 1 litre per hour27. Transmission occurs in households through foods, water and possibly close contact, and on a larger scale through contaminated bodies of water. The virus integrates its own genome into the bacterium, and the genes conferred provide a virulence advantage to the organism by inducing toxin production, profuse diarrhea and dissemination of the organism. Although hyperinfectivity can be maintained for several hours after passage from the host65,70, the loss of culturability (discussed above) and the bloom of bacteriophages in the aquatic environment probably combine to block transmission65.

This means that the licensure of vaccines does not take into account their benefits at the level of the population. By this indirect measure for phages, it was found that at least half of the patients with cholera that were seen over a 5-year period at the ICDDRB harboured vibriophages, and household contacts of a vibriophage-positive index case were less likely to be infected with V. cholerae than individuals who were in contact with a patient who was not phage positive77.

Cholera is an acute, diarrheal illness caused by infection of the intestine with the toxigenic bacterium Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 or O139. An estimated 2.9 million cases and 95,000 deaths occur each year around the world. The infection is often mild or without symptoms, but can be severe. 121:17+ (1970).

Sci. 129, 4552 (1974). It is increasingly clear that the diversity of species and biochemical activities within the gut microbiome represents a driver of infection outcome, through their ability to manipulate the signals used by V. cholerae to regulate virulence and fitness in vivo. Cholera is a bacterial disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio Cholerae. This type of bacteria is usually present in contaminated foods. It is also found in places where there is a lack of sanitation facilities. This disease was first discovered in the US during the 1800s. B., Mittler, S., Arakawa, E. & Broza, M.

For environmental isolates, DNA typing methods based on the sequencing of hypervariable short sequence repeat loci have begun to better define the relationship between non-toxigenic and toxigenic V. cholerae. Different O antigen types are indicated by the colour of the outer membrane and sheathed flagellum (the periplasmic space and the inner membrane are not shown). In this Review, we focus rather on three biological factors that are thought to have important roles in leading to and shaping cholera outbreaks: host susceptibility, the virulence of V. cholerae and lytic bacteriophages.
