Abstract
ABSTRACT
The
examination of 137 non-O1/O139
Vibrio cholerae
isolates from
Newport Bay, California, indicated the presence of diverse genotypes
and a temporal succession. Unexpectedly, the cholera toxin gene
(
ctxA
) was found in 17% of the strains, of which
one-third were also positive for the
zot
gene. This suggests
that
ctxA
is prevalent in the region of nonepidemicity and is
likely to have an environmental
origin.
