AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates genetic changes in Vibrio cholerae O139 strains from 1992 to 2017, focusing on specific genes: ctxB, tcpA, and rstR.
- Antibiotic tests showed over 60% of strains were resistant to multiple antibiotics, highlighting a significant public health concern.
- Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis revealed 13 different genetic profiles (pulsotypes) among the strains, indicating clonal diversity and the evolution of these bacteria over time in Odisha.
Article Abstract
The genome of Vibrio cholerae O139 strains has undergone cryptic changes since its first emergence in 1992 in South India. This study aimed to determine the presence of genotypic changes marked in ctxB, tcpA and rstR genes located within the CTX prophages among the strains of V. cholerae O139 isolated from 1999 to 2017 in Odisha. Antibiotic susceptibility test was conducted on 59 V. cholerae O139 strains. A conventional PCR assay was done for ctxB gene typing followed by sequencing along with identification of rstR and tcpA gene. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was carried out to reveal clonal variations among the V. cholerae O139 strains. Among V. cholerae O139 isolates more than 60% showed resistance to ampicillin, co-trimoxazole, furazolidone, streptomycin, neomycin and nalidixic acid. The ctxB sequencing and rstR allele-specific PCR assay revealed the presence of three genotypes 1, 3 and 4 with at least one copy of CTX Calc φ in addition to CTX ET and CTX Cl prophages in V. cholerae O139 isolates. PFGE analysis revealed 13 pulsotypes with two clades having 60% similarity among V. cholerae O139 strains. The circulating V. cholerae O139 strains in Odisha showed variation in genotypes with multiple clonal expansions over the years.

Background: Diarrhea caused by non-O1/O139-group e (NOVC) tends to be mild and can be readily overlooked. In this report, a NOVC strain designated XXM was isolated from the blood of a 68-year-old male undergoing surgical treatment for a bile duct malignancy in October 2023.
Methods: XXM was identified through a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).

Non-O1/non-O139 Vibrio cholerae (NOVC) strains are a distinct group of Vibrio cholerae that do not cause epidemic cholera. NOVC infections usually cause mild forms of gastroenteritis, and rarely severe (extra)intestinal infections, mostly affecting immunocompromised patients. Here, we describe the clinical course of a patient with NOVC bacteremia causing multiple liver abscesses, after drinking from a freshwater well in a non-coastal area.

Non-toxigenic non-O1/non-O139 (NVC) isolates are associated with diarrhoeal disease globally. NVC-related infections are on the rise, representing one of the most striking examples of emerging human diseases linked to climate change. This study aims to give a better picture of the evolution of NCV incidence in Spain from 2012 to 2022.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on cholera infections, specifically rare cases linked to hepatic space-occupying lesions, and highlights the effectiveness of metagenomic sequencing (mNGS) for accurate pathogen identification.
- A 75-year-old man experienced diarrhea and fever after eating crabs, leading to the discovery of a liver abscess, which was diagnosed as a non-O1/O139 cholera infection through mNGS and PCR.
- The case underscores the potential of mNGS to diagnose challenging infections that other traditional methods may miss, paving the way for better clinical outcomes.
