Abstract excerpt
Both NRT36S and A5 are NAG-ST-producing, serogroup O31 Vibrio cholerae. NRT36S is encapsulated and causes diarrhea when administered to volunteers; A5 is unencapsulated and does not colonize or cause illness in humans. The capsule/LPS (CPS/LPS) biogenesis regions in these two isolates were similar except that a 6.5-kb fragment in A5 has replaced a 10-kb fragment in NRT36S in the middle of the CPS/LPS gene...
