Abstract

We identified 281 Vibrio cholerae non-O1, non-O139 strains from patients with diarrhea in Kolkata, India. Cholera-like diarrhea was the major symptom (66.0%); some patients (20.3%) had severe dehydration. These strains lacked the ctxA gene but many had hlyA, rtxA, and rtxC genes. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis showed no genetic link among strains.

Keywords: India; NAG; Vibrio cholerae; bacteria; cholera-like diarrhea; enteric infections; non-O1; non-O139 serogroups; nonagglutinating vibrios; pulsed-field gel electrophoresis; virulence genes.
