Cholera bacteriophages have been isolated from 27 lysogenic cultures of V. cholerae O139. As shown the pages under study belong to two morphological groups A1 and F1 and serological types II and XII. The use of prophage typing and the sensitivity test to specific phage made it possible to differentiate V. cholerae strains, serogroup O139.

Non-O1/non-O139 (NOVC) strains inhabit aquatic environments and sporadically induce human illnesses. This study involved the virulence and antimicrobial genetic characterization of 176 NOVC strains, comprising 25 from clinical samples and 151 from environmental sources, collected between 2021 and 2023. The antimicrobial susceptibility of the examined NOVC population was predominantly high, exhibiting only poor susceptibility to colistin, with 89.

Infections by non-O1/non-O139 serogroups of Vibrio cholerae (NOVC) are increasing worldwide. Infected patients usually display self-limiting diarrhoea or external ear and wound infections. We present a rare case of bacteraemia secondary to NOVC infection.

Physicians should consider non-O1, non-O139 (NOVC) in the differential diagnosis of cellulitis complicated by sepsis, especially in immunocompromised patients when potential exposure exists. Due to the pathogen's potential for severe infections and rising incidence from environmental changes, we emphasize the need for increased awareness and appropriate treatment guidelines.

Article Synopsis
- Diarrhea caused by NOVC (non-O1/O139-group e) is typically mild, but a strain (XXM) was isolated from a 68-year-old surgical patient in October 2023.
- Identification of XXM involved advanced techniques like MALDI-TOF MS and whole genome sequencing, showing it was sensitive to all tested antibiotics and lacked the virulence gene.
- The genomic analysis revealed multiple virulence genes and a genetic similarity to another NOVC strain, contributing to a better understanding of NOVC pathogenicity in clinical contexts.
