Abstract
An occurrence ofVibrio choleraenon-O1/O139 gastroenteritis in the U.S. Gulf Coast is reported here. Genomic analysis revealed that the isolate lacked known virulence factors associated with the clinical outcome of aV. choleraeinfection but did contain putative genomic islands and other accessory virulence factors. Many of these factors are widespread among environmental strains ofV. cholerae, suggesting that there might be additional virulence factors in non-O1/O139V. choleraeyet to be determined. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the isolate belonged to a phyletic lineage of environmentalV. choleraeisolates associated with sporadic cases of gastroenteritis in the Western Hemisphere, suggesting a need to monitor non-O1/O139V. choleraein the interest of public health.
