Cholera outbreaks are proposed to propagate in explosive cycles powered by hyperinfectious Vibrio cholerae and quenched by lytic vibriophage. However, studies to elucidate how these factors affect transmission are lacking because the field experiments are almost intractable. One reason for this is t...

The microbes that accompany the etiologic agent of cholera, Vibrio cholerae, are only now being defined. In this study, spirochetes from the genus Brachyspira were identified at high titers in more than one third of cholera patients in Bangladesh. Spirochetosis should now be tracked in the setting o...

Three mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) (ICL3, ICL4, and ICL5) were produced that specifically recognized the lipopolysaccharide antigen of the newly recognized Shigella dysenteriae serotype-13 strain. All three mAbs reacted with all nine reference isolates of S. dysenteriae 13 in different tests. ...
