Genomic diversity of clinical and environmental Vibrio cholerae strains isolated in Brazil between 1991 and 2001 as revealed by fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Vibrio cholerae is a ubiquitous and abundant organism in aquatic environments, particularly in coastal areas, estuaries, and rivers. This organism was the cause of a considerable number of deaths in Brazil during the last decade. In this study we applied the genomic fingerprinting technique fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (FAFLP) to analyze 106 V. cholerae O1 and non-O1 and non-O139 strains...
