Comma-shaped (vibrioid) bacilli
V. cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus are most significant

human pathogens
Broad temperature & pH range for growth on media
18-37°C
pH 7.0 - 9.0 (useful for enrichment)
Grow on variety of simple media including:
MacConkey’s agar
TCBS (Thiosulfate Citrate Bile salts Sucrose) agar
V. cholerae grow without salt
Most other vibrios are halophilic

Vibrio spp. (including V. cholerae) grow in estuarine and marine environments

worldwide
All Vibrio spp. can survive and replicate in contaminated waters with increased salinity and at temperatures of 10-30oC
Pathogenic Vibrio spp. appear to form symbiotic (?) associations with chitinous shellfish which serve as an important and only recently recognized reservoir
Asymptomatically infected humans also serve as an important reservoir in regions where cholera is endemic

Epidemiology of Vibrio spp.

Taxonomy of Vibrio cholerae

>200 serogroups based on somatic O-antigen
O1 and O139

serogroups are responsible for classic epidemic cholera
O1 serogroup subdivided into
Two biotypes: El Tor and classical (or cholerae)
Three serotypes: ogawa, inaba, hikojima
Some O1 strains do not produce cholera enterotoxin (atypical or nontoxigenic O1 V. cholerae)
Other strains are identical to O1 strains but do not agglutinate in O1 antiserum (non-cholera (NCV) or non-agglutinating(NAG) vibrios) (non-O1 V.cholerae)
Several phage types

Epidemiology of Vibrio cholerae Cholera recognized for more than two millennia

Epidemiology of Vibrio cholerae

Cholera recognized for more than two millennia with

sporadic disease and epidemics
Endemic in regions of Southern and Southeastern Asia; origin of pandemic cholera outbreaks
Generally in communities with poor sanitation
Seven pandemics (possible beginning of 8th) since 1817 attributable to increased world travel
Cholera spread by contaminated water and food
Human carriers and environmental reservoirs
Слайд 9

Recent Cholera Pandemics 7th pandemic: V. cholerae O1 biotype El Tor

Recent Cholera Pandemics

7th pandemic:
V. cholerae O1 biotype El Tor
Began in Asia

in 1961
Spread to other continents in 1970s and 1980s
Spread to Peru in 1991 and then to most of South & Central America and to U.S. & Canada
By 1995 in the Americas, >106 cases; 104 dead
8th pandemic (??)
V. cholerae O139 Bengal is first non-O1 strain capable of causing epidemic cholera
Began in India in 1992 and spread to Asia, Europe and U.S.
Disease in humans previously infected with O1 strain, thus no cross-protective immunity
Слайд 10

Pathogenesis of V.cholerae Incubation period: 2-3 days High infectious dose: >108

Pathogenesis of V.cholerae

Incubation period: 2-3 days
High infectious dose: >108 CFU
103

-105 CFU with achlorhydria or hypochlorhydria (lack of or reduced stomach acid)
Abrupt onset of vomiting and life-threatening watery diarrhea (15-20 liters/day)
As more fluid is lost, feces-streaked stool changes to rice-water stools:
Colorless
Odorless
No protein
Speckled with mucus
Слайд 11

Pathogenesis of V.cholerae (cont.)

Cholera toxin leads to profuse loss of fluids

and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, bicarbonate)
Hypokalemia (low levels of K in blood)
Cardiac arrhythmia and renal failure
Cholera toxin blocks uptake of sodium & chloride from lumen of small intestine
Death attributable to:
Hypovolemic shock (due to abnormally low volume of circulating fluid (plasma) in the body)
Metabolic acidosis (pH shifts toward acid side due to loss of bicarbonate buffering capacity)
Слайд 12

Treatment & Prevention of V. cholerae Untreated: 60% fatality Treated: Rehydration

Treatment & Prevention of V. cholerae

Untreated: 60% fatality
Treated: <1% fatality
Rehydration &

supportive therapy
Oral
Sodium chloride (3.5 g/L)
Potassium chloride (1.5 g/L)
Rice flour (30-80g/L)
Trisodium citrate (2.9 g/L)
Intravenous (IV)
Doxycycline or tetracycline (Tet resistance may be developing) of secondary value
Water purification, sanitation & sewage treatment
Vaccines

Two Broad Classes of Bacterial Exotoxins

Intracellular Targets: A-B dimeric (two domain)

exotoxins: (prototype is diphtheria toxin of Corynebacterium diphtheriae):
Bipartite structure: Binding domain (B) associated with absorption to target cell surface and transfer of active component (A) across cell membrane; once internalized, domain (A) enzymatically disrupts cell function
Receptor-mediated endocytosis (host cell uptake and internalization of exotoxin)
ADP-ribosylation of intracellular target host molecule
Cellular Targets: Cytolytic exotoxins (usually degradative enzymes) or cytolysins: hemolysis, tissue necrosis, may be lethal when administered intravenously

Cholera Toxin (A2-5B)(Vibrio cholerae) Chromosomally-encoded; Lysogenic phage conversion; Highly conserved genetic

Cholera Toxin (A2-5B)(Vibrio cholerae)

Chromosomally-encoded; Lysogenic phage conversion; Highly conserved genetic sequence
Structurally

& functionally similar to ETEC LT
B-subunit binds to GM1 ganglioside receptors in small intestine
Reduction of disulfide bond in A-subunit activates A1 fragment that ADP-ribosylates guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding protein (Gs) by transferring ADP-ribose from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)
ADP-ribosylated GTP-binding protein activates adenyl cyclase leading to an increased cyclic AMP (cAMP) level and hypersecretion of fluids and electrolytes
