It was assay by biochemical and immunological tests, strains of V. Cholerae non-01 non-0139 isolated from two patients of the province of Córdoba, Argentina. They showed episodes of acute gastroenteritis. Strains non-01 non-0139 were isolated from water samples ingested by patients. We conclude that strains identified from patients would have the source from contaminated environmental water by V. Cholerae.

This study was conducted to assess the bacteriological quality of alternative drinking water supply options in southwest coastal areas of Bangladesh. A total of 90 water samples were collected during both dry and wet seasons from household based rainwater harvesting systems (RWHSS), community based rain water harvesting systems (CRWHSs), pond-sand filters (PSFs) and ponds. The samples were evaluated for faecal coliform, Escherichia coli and Heterotrophic Plate Count, as well as Vibrio cholerae, Salmonella spp.

We report a 70-year-old woman, who had recently consumed shellfish, that was admitted to the intensive care unit with septic shock and died 19 hours later due to a multi-organic failure. Microbiological, serological and molecular assays confirmed a hemolytic tdh+ Vibrio cholerae non-01, non 0139 as the etiologic agent.
