Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal epidemics of cholera inversely correlate with the prevalence of environmental cholera phages.
Shah M. Faruque,Iftekhar Bin Naser,M. Johirul Islam,Abu Syed Golam Faruque,A. N. Ghosh,G. Balakrish Nair,David A. Sack,John J. Mekalanos +7 more
TL;DR: The data support the conclusion that cholERA phages can influence cholera seasonality and may also play a role in emergence of new V. cholerae pandemic serogroups or clones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Characterization of Vibrio cholerae O1 Biotype El Tor Strains Isolated between 1992 and 1995 in Calcutta, India: Evidence for the Emergence of a New Clone of the El Tor Biotype
Charu Sharma,Gopinath Balakrish Nair,Mukhopadhyay Ak,S. K. Bhattacharya,R. K. Ghosh,A. N. Ghosh +5 more
TL;DR: These studies clearly showed that El Tor O1 strains, which displaced V. cholerae O139 in Calcutta, belonged to a new clone and suggested that there is a continuous genetic reassortment among El Tor strains of V.Cholera O1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxin profiles of Vibrio cholerae non-O1 from environmental sources in Calcutta, India.
Gopinath Balakrish Nair,Y Oku,Yoshifumi Takeda,A. N. Ghosh,R K Ghosh,S Chattopadhyay,Sagar Pal,J B Kaper,T Takeda +8 more
TL;DR: It appears from this study that a small percentage of environmental V. cholerae non-O1 strains do possess the potential for causing cholera-like diarrhea.
Journal ArticleDOI
An inducible lambdoid prophage encoding cytolethal distending toxin (Cdt-I) and a type III effector protein in enteropathogenic Escherichia coli.
Masahiro Asakura,Atsushi Hinenoya,Mohammad S. Alam,Kensuke Shima,M. Shamim Hasan Zahid,Lei Shi,Norihiko Sugimoto,A. N. Ghosh,Thandavarayan Ramamurthy,Shah M. Faruque,G. Balakrish Nair,Shinji Yamasaki +11 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that CDT-1Φ is the latest member of a growing family of lambdoid phages encoding bacterial cyclomodulins and that the phage may have a role in horizontal transfer of these virulence genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
RS1 Element of Vibrio cholerae Can Propagate Horizontally as a Filamentous Phage Exploiting the Morphogenesis Genes of CTXΦ
Shah M. Faruque,Asadulghani,M. Kamruzzaman,Ranjan K. Nandi,A. N. Ghosh,G. Balakrish Nair,John J. Mekalanos,David A. Sack +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that RS1 element, which encodes a site-specific recombination system in V. cholerae, can propagate horizontally as a filamentous phage, exploiting the morphogenesis genes of CTXΦ.
