Demonstration of a plasmid-borne gene encoding a thermostable direct hemolysin in Vibrio cholerae non-O1 strains
Abstract
Of 15 Vibrio cholerae non-O1 strains, 2 produced a hemolysin termed NAG-rTDH, which is very similar to the thermostable direct hemolysin of V. parahaemolyticus. These two strains contained DNA sequences which are homologous to a DNA probe for the V. parahaemolyticus thermostable direct hemolysin gene. A probe-positive 9-kilobase HindIII fragment was cloned from a plasmid of a V. cholerae non-O1 strain into plasmid pBR322, and the resulting Escherichia coli clones produced intracellular NAG-rTDH.
