Journal ArticleDOI
New Variants of Vibrio cholerae O1 Biotype El Tor with Attributes of the Classical Biotype from Hospitalized Patients with Acute Diarrhea in Bangladesh
G. Balakrish Nair,Shah M. Faruque,Nurul A. Bhuiyan,M. Kamruzzaman,A. K. Siddique,David A. Sack +5 more
TL;DR: There are possible naturally occurring genetic hybrids between the classical and El Tor biotypes that can cause cholera and thus provide new insight into the epidemiology of cholERA in Bangladesh.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity and virulence potential of environmental Vibrio cholerae population in a cholera-endemic area
Shah M. Faruque,Nityananda Chowdhury,M. Kamruzzaman,Michelle Dziejman,M. Hasibur Rahman,David A. Sack,G. Balakrish Nair,John J. Mekalanos +7 more
TL;DR: Results of this study suggest that the environmental V. cholerae population in a cholera-endemic area is highly heterogeneous, and selection in the mammalian intestine can cause enrichment of environmental strains with virulence potential, which involves more virulence genes than currently appreciated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of the pandemic genotype of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in Dhaka, Bangladesh and significance of its distribution across different serotypes
Nurul A. Bhuiyan,M. Ansaruzzaman,M. Kamruzzaman,Khorshed Alam,N. R. Chowdhury,Mitsuaki Nishibuchi,Shah M. Faruque,David A. Sack,Yoshifumi Takeda,G. Balakrish Nair +9 more
TL;DR: A marker (open reading frame ORF8) for a filamentous phage previously thought to correspond to the pandemic genotype was found to have a poor correlation with the pand epidemic genotype.
Journal ArticleDOI
Satellite phage TLCφ enables toxigenic conversion by CTX phage through dif site alteration
TL;DR: It is found that acquisition and chromosomal integration of the TLC-Knφ1 genome restored a perfect dif site and normal morphology to V. cholerae wild-type and mutant strains with dif− filamentation phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reemergence of epidemic Vibrio cholerae O139, Bangladesh
Shah M. Faruque,Nityananda Chowdhury,M. Kamruzzaman,Q. Shafi Ahmad,A. S. G. Faruque,M. Abdus Salam,T. Ramamurthy,G. Balakrish Nair,Andrej Weintraub,David A. Sack +9 more
TL;DR: The O139 strains continue to evolve, and the adult population continues to be more susceptible to O139 cholera, which suggests a lack of adequate immunity against this serogroup.
