Introduction of a New Housekeeping Gene Sequences for Rapid Identification of Vibrio cholerae Strains in the Clinical Samples

摘要

Background:Vibrio cholerae is a noninvasive, gram-negative bacterium responsible for severe epidemics of cholera and endemic diarrhea in many parts of the world, especially developing countries. Vibrio cholerae strains may produce a variety of atypical biochemical reactions which may pose some difficulties in rapid identification and recovery of these bacteria from mixed samples isolated from clinical or environmental sources. To best of our knowledge dnaE gene is widespread among all Vibrio cholerae strains.
