Characterization of highly virulent multidrug resistant Vibrio cholerae isolated from a large cholera outbreak in Ghana.

BMC research notes - 18 Jan 2018

Feglo Patrick Kwame, Sewurah Miriam

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the virulent factors of Vibrio cholerae which caused an unprecedented large cholera outbreak in Ghana in 2014 and progressed into 2015, affected 28,975 people with 243 deaths. RESULTS: The V. cholerae isolates were identified to be the classical V. cholerae 01 biotype El Tor, serotype Ogawa, responsible for the large cholera outbreak in Ghana. These El Tor...
