ecology and genetic structure of a northern temperate vibrio cholerae population related to toxigenic isolates. | although vibrio cholerae is an important human pathogen, little is known about its populations in regions where the organism is endemic but where cholera disease is rare. a total of 31 independent isolates confirmed as v. cholerae were collected from water, sediment, and oysters in 2008 and 2009 from the great bay estuary (gbe) in new hampshire, a location where the organism has never been detected. environmental analyses suggested that abundance correlates most strongly with rainfall events, as ... | 2011 | 21926213 |
