Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative genomics reveals mechanism for short-term and long-term clonal transitions in pandemic Vibrio cholerae.
Jongsik Chun,Christopher J. Grim,Nur A. Hasan,Jehee Lee,Seon Young Choi,Bradd J. Haley,Elisa Taviani,Yoon-Seong Jeon,Dong Wook Kim,Jaehak Lee,Thomas Brettin,David Bruce,Jean F. Challacombe,J.

TL;DR: Based on the comparative genomics, it is concluded that V. cholerae undergoes extensive genetic recombination via lateral gene transfer, and, therefore, genome assortment, not serogroup, should be used to define pathogenic V.cholerae clones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic diversity of 2010 Haitian cholera outbreak strains
Nur A. Hasan,Seon Young Choi,Mark Eppinger,Philip Clark,Arlene Chen,Munirul Alam,Bradd J. Haley,Elisa Taviani,Erin Hine,Qi Su,Luke J. Tallon,Joseph B. Prosper,Keziah Furth,Mohammad Mozammel Hoq,Huai Li,Claire M. Fraser-Liggett,Alejandro Cravioto,Anwar Huq,Jacques Ravel,Thomas A. Cebula,Rita R. Colwell +20 more
TL;DR: The isolation of both V. cholerae O1 and non-O1/O139 early in the Haiti cholera epidemic from samples collected from victims in 18 towns across eight Arrondissements of Haiti showed two distinct populations of V.cholerae coexisted, and its role in this epidemic, either alone or in concert with V.Cholera O1, cannot be dismissed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome Sequence of Hybrid Vibrio cholerae O1 MJ-1236, B-33, and CIRS101 and Comparative Genomics with V. cholerae
Christopher J. Grim,Nur A. Hasan,Elisa Taviani,Bradd J. Haley,Jongsik Chun,Jongsik Chun,Thomas Brettin,David Bruce,J. Chris Detter,Cliff Han,Olga Chertkov,Jean F. Challacombe,Anwar Huq,G. Balakrish Nair,Rita R. Colwell,Rita R. Colwell +15 more
TL;DR: The absence of strain- and group-specific genomic islands, some of which appear to be prophages and phage-like elements, seems to be the most likely factor in the recent establishment of dominance of V. cholerae CIRS101 over the other two hybrid strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection, isolation, and identification of Vibrio cholerae from the environment.
TL;DR: In this paper, the most accepted methods for the isolation and detection of Vibrio cholerae were presented, as well as the most commonly used methods for detecting V.cholerae in aquatic environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental Vibrio spp., isolated in Mozambique, contain a polymorphic group of integrative conjugative elements and class 1 integrons.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the SXT/R391 family and related ICEs comprise a large class of polymorphic genetic elements widely circulating in environmental Vibrio strains in Africa, beside those evidently linked to drug resistance in clinical isolates.
