The aim of this study was to assess the genetic diversity of Vibrio cholerae isolated from 2012 and 2013 outbreaks in Iran, with regard to their virulence properties. A total of 20 V. cholerae strains were collected from Sistan‐Baluchestan province of Iran during 2012 and 2013 outbreaks. Hybridization assays showed the presence of ctx, zot, ace and rstC genes related to CTX and RS1 phages in all of the isolates. PCR assay indicated the concomitant presence of ORFs within RTX (1448, 1451) and…

Distribution of resistance genetic determinants among Vibrio cholerae isolates of 2012 and 2013 outbreaks in IR Iran.
Investigating the Accessory Colonization Factor (ACF) Cluster in Clinical Strains of Vibrio cholerae Isolated during 2011-2012 in Iran
TLDR
The results showed that O1 Inaba was the dominant serotype and positive for ACF cluster in pathogenic V. cholerae isolates collected during 2011-2012 in Iran, and proposed that other colonization factors might have been involved in causing pathogenicity and diarrhea in these strains.

Emergence of Vibrio cholerae O1 classical biotype in 2012 in Iran
TLDR
Investigation of V. cholerae isolates from recent outbreak in Iran and to characterize the ctxB allelic sequence of isolates demonstrated diversity in virulence gene content of strains with identical PFGE patterns and provided evidences of the import of a V. Cholerae strain with classical biotype from out of the authors' country.
Clonal Dissemination of a Single Vibrio cholerae O1 Biotype El Tor Strain in Sistan–Baluchestan Province of Iran During 2013
Although much is known about the mechanisms affecting cholera spread, cholera outbreaks occur annually in Iran. The aim of this study was to characterize and assess the clonal correlation of strains…
Comparative PCR-based fingerprinting of Vibrio cholerae isolated in Malaysia.
TLDR
A Vibrio cholerae Repeats-PCR approach which targets the genetic polymorphism of the integron island of Vibrios was used and compared with other PCR-based fingerprinting methods in subtyping to overcome the inadequacy of any one approach.
Comparison of distribution of virulence determinants in clinical and environmental isolates of Vibrio cholera.
TLDR
The absence of all virulence determinants in the environmental strains may suggest that certain ecological features must be present for V. cholerae to acquire a complete set of virulent determinants and to turn them into pathogenic strains.
Molecular epidemiology of Vibrio cholerae O1 isolates from Colombia.
TLDR
A total of 173 Vibrio cholerae O1 isolates from the recent cholera epidemic in Colombia was analysed by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and by ribotyping, and all isolates were positive for ctx A and zot, which was confirmed by hybridisation.
Evaluation of Typing of Vibrioparahaemolyticus by Three PCR Methods Using Specific Primers
TLDR
Three rapid PCR typing methods for this pathogen are designed and evaluated using primers designed on the basis of the following specific sequences: conserved ribosomal gene spacer sequence (RS), repetitive extragenic palindromic sequence (REP), and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequence (ERIC).
Molecular characterization of Vibrio cholerae O1 strains by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis
TLDR
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis was more discriminating than other previously described subtyping assays for V. cholerae O1 and appears to be a useful epidemiologic tool.
Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequences and the PCR to generate fingerprints of genomic DNAs from Vibrio cholerae O1, O139, and non-O1 strains
TLDR
It is concluded from the results of this study that it is possible to detect an emerging virulent strain in a cholera-endemic region and ERIC-PCR constitutes a powerful tool for determination of the virulence potential of V. cholerae O1 strains isolated in surveillance programs and for molecular epidemiological investigations.
Virulence Genes in Environmental Strains ofVibrio cholerae
TLDR
This study demonstrates the presence and expression of critical virulence genes or their homologues in diverse environmental strains of V. cholerae, which appear to constitute an environmental reservoir of virulent genes, thereby providing new insights into the ecology ofV.
