| vibrio cholerae o1 outbreak isolates in mozambique and south africa in 1998 are multiple-drug resistant, contain the sxt element and the aada2 gene located on class 1 integrons. | the characteristics of vibrio cholerae o1 biotype el tor, serotype ogawa isolates from outbreaks of cholera in 1998 amongst migrant workers in the south african provinces of gauteng and mpumalanga, on the border of mozambique, are reported. the isolates seem to have originated from the same clone since they are of two closely related bgli ribotypes. these ribotypes had a high similarity to ribotypes of v. cholerae o1 recently found in three south-east asian countries. isolates were resistant to ... | 2001 | 11733467 |
| genetic characterization of multidrug-resistant, extended-spectrum- {beta}-lactamase-producing vibrio cholerae o1 outbreak strains, mpumalanga, south africa, 2008. | thirty-one antimicrobial-resistant, extended-spectrum-β-lactamase-producing strains of vibrio cholerae o1 serotype ogawa associated with an outbreak of cholera in south africa (2008) were investigated. ten selected cholera strains were pcr positive for the sxt element, harbored mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining regions of gyra (ser83-ile) and parc (ser85-leu), and produced tem-63 β-lactamase. | 2011 | 21653763 |
