Abstract

We resolved the relationships between 2 pandemic clones of Vibrio cholerae. Using 26 housekeeping genes, we showed that the US Gulf clone, the Australian clone, and 3 El Tor strains isolated before the seventh pandemic were related to the seventh pandemic clone. The sixth pandemic clone was well separated from them.

Figure 1
Distribution of base differences in strains of Vibrio cholerae. The base positions relative to the start of the ATG codon are shown. Isolates 395 and E9120 were compared for the fruK, lytB, metE, pepN, pyrG, fumC, malP, metG, pyrC, and sdaA genes, and isolates 395 and E506 were compared for the gyrB gene.

Relationships of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae isolates. The mutational (m) and recombinational (r) changes are given equal weight. Shown is a unique (unrooted) tree, with the events indicated on the branches.
