WebIn Vibrio cholerae, the production of virulence factors is regulated at several levels. By this indirect measure for phages, it was found that at least half of the patients with cholera that were seen over a 5-year period at the ICDDRB harboured vibriophages, and household contacts of a vibriophage-positive index case were less likely to be infected with V. cholerae than individuals who were in contact with a patient who was not phage positive77.

This means that the licensure of vaccines does not take into account their benefits at the level of the population. In the context of households, food may act as an acid buffer; in volunteer studies, administration of the bacterium as part of a 'meal' of rice, fish, custard and skimmed milk gave results that are comparable to those seen with concurrent administration of bacterium and bicarbonate79. 2023 Feb 1;42(3):e113204. 184, 65926601 (2002). This concept highlights the crucial importance of already proven but simple household-based interventions, such as the use of narrow-mouthed jugs, chlorination of stored water and hand washing, for disease prevention110,111. Lytic phages and hyperinfectious V. cholerae (VCHi) are shed by the symptomatic host in varying concentrations; asymptomatic hosts shed far fewer bacteria (dashed line). Endemic cholera occurs in regions with natural aquatic reservoirs of toxigenic and non-toxigenic V. cholerae, where the bacteria can persist either in a free-living state or in association with phytoplankton84,85,86, zooplantkon85,86,87,88 or biotic and abiotic detritus89,90. Scholarships in Brazil Scientific Initiation. Vibrio cholerae is the causative organism of cholera. It is a gram-negative bacterium that infects the small intestine. It produces the toxin choleragen also abbreviated as CTX, which is responsible for the colossal diarrhoea characteristic of cholera disease. Vibrio cholerae is naturally found in brackish or salt water. and JavaScript. 12, 113120 (1995). 121, Suppl. Regulation of genes at the transcriptional level, especially the genes for toxin production Studies with patient- and in vitro-derived V. cholerae that were dialysed in pond water demonstrated declines of 60% and 90% in culturability at 5 hours and 24 hours, respectively65. N. Engl. Google Scholar. 1971 Nov; 4 (5):611618. By contrast, in epidemic patterns of transmission, such as when V. cholerae is introduced into an immunologically naive population, all age groups seem equally susceptible to symptomatic infection16,35,36,37. This disease consists of 3). This, in turn, causes permanent ribosylation of a G protein, causing an intracellular adenylate cyclase to constitutively produce cyclic AMP (cAMP). Substantial changes in gene expression accompany this transition from pond to acute infection including, but not limited to, induction of vieA, which encodes a phosphodiesterase that hydrolyzes the second messenger cyclic di-GMP, and ToxR-regulated genes, including those for cholera toxin and the self-aggregative toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP).

In the small intestine, the cholera organism produces a flagella-like structure that allows it to breach the intestinal wall. V. cholerae typically outnumbers lytic bacteriophages immediately after passage from the host65,67. Use of phoA gene fusions to identify a pilus colonization factor coordinately regulated with cholera toxin. predicts that if an outbreak is initiated by an increase in V. cholerae in the environment, vibriophages will subsequently increase in density, ultimately promoting a decline in the outbreak108. Infect. Would you like email updates of new search results? These interactions can be both beneficial and antagonistic91,92. Ann N Y Acad Sci. Cholera is the result of a multifactorial process, consisting of V. cholerae colonization, coordinate expression of virulence factors, and toxin action. Vibriophages were also disseminated into community drinking water sources for prophylaxis. Thus, the expression of virulence by V. cholerae is a regulated property. Natl Acad. PubMed Central 96, 342351 (1972). Although virulence is multifactorial, cholera toxin is the key factor responsible for the profuse secretory diarrhoea that occurs in infected individuals. Two rural regions separated by 80 kilometres in the Ganges River Delta were found to contain distinct, diverse strains from environmental and clinical settings96. Cholera is an acute, diarrheal illness caused by infection of the intestine with the toxigenic bacterium Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 or O139. An estimated 2.9 million cases and 95,000 deaths occur each year around the world. The infection is often mild or without symptoms, but can be severe. While the majority of these environmental, nonepidemic strains appear to be nonpathogenic for humans, some have The virus integrates its own genome into the bacterium, and the genes conferred provide a virulence advantage to the organism by inducing toxin production, profuse diarrhea and dissemination of the organism. 47, 341349 (2004). Proc. Toxigenic strains of Vibrio cholerae persist in aquatic environments alongside non-toxigenic strains, aided by biofilm formation on biological surfaces and use of chitin as a carbon and nitrogen source. The Gram-negative bacterium Vibrio cholerae is responsible for the severe diarrheal pandemic disease cholera, representing a major global public health concern. Infected individuals are symptomatic (Isymp) or asymptomatic (Iasymp) and recover (R) through the actions of their immune systems and possibly those of lytic bacteriophages, or succumb to the infection (m). 131, 719728 (1990). Seasonal cholera from multiple small outbreaks, rural Bangladesh. Microbiol. Immunoglobulin A antibodies specific to TCP, LPS or the B subunit of cholera toxin correlate with protection from subsequent infection and disease35. Vibrio cholerae is the causative agent of cholera and, more rarely, V. cholerae has several virulence factors, and for some of them, the mechanisms associated with the infections are not completely understood. However, asymptomatic cases are often difficult to document. Appl. Infecting the human host is a multistage process: V. cholerae must be ingested at a dose that is sufficient to overcome innate immune defences, then express virulence factors to colonize the small intestine and, finally, coordinate an exit from the host to facilitate transmission63 (Fig. 336338 Vibrio cholerae uses two quorum sensing systems. Vibrio cholerae is a gram-negative bacterium that is the causative agent of cholera. On ingestion of these aquatic-environment-adapted bacteria in contaminated food or water, toxigenic strains colonize the small intestine, multiply, secrete cholera toxin and are shed back into the environment by the host in secretory diarrhoea. 70, 24192433 (2002).

However, when volunteers who no longer have detectable antibodies are re-challenged with V. cholerae antigens, they demonstrate a persistent ability to mount an anamnestic immune response, developing peak intestinal antibody secretion as rapidlyas within three days. This parallels the rates of symptomatic infections that were found in association with classical strains in older literature32,38,39,40 but is well above the rates reported for El Tor infections in the 1970s40.

This paper proposes that lytic bacteriophages increase in density in the environment to limit the duration of cholera outbreaks. 2018;93:489500. In this Review, we focus rather on three biological factors that are thought to have important roles in leading to and shaping cholera outbreaks: host susceptibility, the virulence of V. cholerae and lytic bacteriophages.

The model has limitations: it assumes an asymptomatic to symptomatic case ratio that is much higher than those observed in recent years and it was tested using mortality rates that are attributable to clinically defined cholera from West Bengal between 1891 and 1940 an era before the discovery of the rotavirus and enterotoxigenic E. coli, which are confounding factors. The main mechanism by which V. cholerae O1 becomes resistant to 139 and many other vibriophages is mutation of the rfb gene cluster that encodes the enzymes for the synthesis of LPS104. It is increasingly clear that the diversity of species and biochemical activities within the gut microbiome represents a driver of infection outcome, through their ability to manipulate the signals used by V. cholerae to regulate virulence and fitness in vivo.

Furthermore, exposing wild-type V. cholerae to acid just before inoculating the mice produced a large competitive advantage over non-acid-adapted bacteria82.
