ABSTRACT

Due to repeated cholera outbreaks in Iran and neighboring countries, the present study was performed to determine the prevalence of phenotypes of Ogawa and Inaba serotypes of Vibrio cholera 01 and classic Vibrio cholera 01 biotypes. Materials and methods: Scanning and transmission electron microscopy [SEM and TEM] were applied on 4 species, of Ogawa and Inaba serotypes and two classic serotypes of Vibrio cholera 01. Membrane diameter of Eltor was wider as compared to classic biotype. Number of ribosomes, protein synthesis, length and number of flagella were quite more in comparison with classic biotype. According to our findings, genome of classic biotype is more compact. Keywords: Vibrio cholera, Ogawa serotype, Inaba serotype, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy

ABSTRACT

We conducted studies to investigate the surface architecture of V. cholerae O139 using electron microscopy and compared it with O1 and other serogroups of V. cholerae. The bacterium is comma-shaped and has a single polar flagellum and morphologically resembles the classical and E1Tor biotypes of V. cholerae O1. High power electron microscopy showed a few pili, 5 to 7 nm in diameter, and 2 to 3 in number per bacterium. The presence of a capsule on electron microscopy of ultrathin sections of V. cholerae O139 treated with polycationic ferritin clearly distinguished the O139 serogroup from the O1 serogroup which are not encapsulated. Immunoelectron microscopy further revealed that an anti-O139 monoclonal antibody of the IgG2a isotype bound specifically only to an O139 strain but not to any other serogroup of V. cholerae indicating that O139 has unique epitopes not found in other serogroups of V. cholerae.

ABSTRACT

Se inoculó Vibrio cholerae (ca. 1x10[12] UFC/ml) en ensaladas de vegetales y se evaluó su supervivencia adicionando jugo de limón ácido a la ensalada, lo que bajó el pH de 4.5 a 3.4. En estas condiciones no se recuperó la bacteria a los 30 minutos post adición del jugo de limó. Sin enbargo, no hubo alteraciones morfológicas en las bacterias, detectables al microscópio electrónico de transmissión (tinción negativa) ni al microscopio electrónico de rastreo.

ABSTRACT

Recientemente Vibrio cholerae ha llamado mucho la atención de los investigadores por ser un inmunógeno muy potente y, al mismo tiempo, un coadyuvante inmunomodulador de la respuesta inmunitaria en la mucosa intestinal, tanto para los antígenos que se administran mezclados como los ligados covalentemente a la toxina colérica. La inmunopatogenia del cólera es un fenómeno complejo. En este artículo se comunican los resultados preliminares de experimentos realizados con ratas de laboratorio para conocer la respuesta intestinal de la IgA en los roedores y los humanos

ABSTRACT

Prophage kappa in V. cholerae el tor strain SLH22(J) could be induced spontaneously or by treatment with nitrofurantoin, though the efficiency of induction was very low (not more than 0.8%). V. cholerae el tor cells were found to release many different aberrant structures of the temperate phage, kappa. These aberrant structures were characterized by density gradient centrifugation and electron microscopy.

ABSTRACT

Se estudió la susceptibilidad antimicrobiana de 200 cepas de vibrio cholerae 01, biotipo El Tor, aisladas en pacientes con diarrea en el Centro Médico Naval, durante los primeros trimestre de 1991-1992. El serotipo prevalente en 1991 fue el lnaba (94,7 por ciento) y en 1992 el Ogawa (92 por ciento). 137 cepas proceden de pacientes masculinos y 63 del sexo femenio. El antibiograma realizado por serotipos mediante el método de kirby y bauer, dio como resultado 100 por ciento de sensibilidad en ambos serotipos para las quinolonas, pequeñas variaciones frente a sulfametoxazol-trimetropim, cloranfenicol e imipenem y mayor sensibilidad del serotipo Ogawa para ceftazidime, ampilicina y tetraciclinas, ambos serotipos a la ampicilina, la susceptibilidad no depende del serotipo (p < 0.05). 47 por ciento de las cepas eran resistentes a ampicilina, 2 por ciento a oxitetraciclina y 1.5 por ciento a doxiciclina, 2 cepas fueron resistentes a los tres antibióticos. La concentración mínima inhibitoria se determinó por el método de dilución en Agar con inóculo múltiple. 80 por ciento de las cepas resistentes a la ampicilina producen la enzima betalactamasa detectado con el método lodométrico.
