Abstract

Cholera is an acute diarrheal disease caused by the gram-negative bacterium Vibrio cholerae. Accumulated epidemiological data have shown that historically recorded pandemics have been caused by serogroup O1 (Classic and El Tor biotypes) and later, in 1992, by serogroup O139 of this pathogen.1 Several virulence factors contribute to its pathogenicity, but recognized as more important are cholera toxin (CT) and toxin co-regulated pilus (TCP).
