The results of the study of the preparation of V. cholerae eltor membrane, obtained by the lysis and inactivation of microbial cells with urea and the subsequent differential centrifugation and nuclease treatment. As revealed in this study, the outer membrane preparation, when introduced parenterally and orally to mice, induced pronounced immunity to experimental cholera infection and the production of vibriocidal antibodies in high titers. The treatment of V. cholerae eltor membranes with trypsin led to further increase of the immunogenic potency of the preparation. The protective action of V. cholerae eltor outer membranes considerably exceeded the protective effect of currently used whole-cell eltor vaccine. This opens prospects for using the above-mentioned preparation for the improvement of chemical vaccine as a component ensuring the formation of antibacterial immunity.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares Vibrio mimicus and Vibrio cholerae, looking at virulence genes, antibiotic resistance, and biofilm formation.
- One strain of V. mimicus was found to harbor several virulence genes, while V. cholerae showed a higher prevalence of certain additional toxin genes.
- Both species displayed different patterns of antibiotic susceptibility, with V. mimicus having more resistance genes, highlighting its potential as an emerging pathogen similar to V. cholerae.

Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of cholera, is commonly isolated, along with other bacterial species, from chironomid insects (Diptera: Chironomidae). Nevertheless, its prevalence in the chironomid egg masses' microbiota is less than 0.5%.

We performed an in-depth computational image analysis of the baseplate-tail complex of the M4 vibriophage and identified seven major densities in its baseplate, which notably share structural similarities with baseplate modules of a number of other bacteriophages belonging to different species. Employing computational analysis, we explained the helical organization of the sheath protein, wrapping the tail tube. Based on the results obtained in this work along with the proteomics information published previously, we are able to decipher the plausible roles assigned to the different components of the M4 baseplate during infection of the host.

Background: Cholera is a primordial disease caused by which existed from centuries in different parts of the world and still shows its periodic, endemic and epidemic presence. Thousands of cholera cases are reported from different parts of India and the disease remains endemic throughout the year. At present, we do not have enough knowledge about the phenotypic nature of the circulating strains in this part of the world.
