MO10

Vibrio cholerae MO10 is a member of the O139 serogroup and was isolated during the cholera outbreak in India and Bangladesh in 1992. This organism will be used for comparative genomics.

MAK757

Vibrio cholerae MAK 757 is a mildly toxigenic Ogawa serotype strain of the El Tor biotype, isolated from a pre-7th pandemic patient (Genotype: TCP+ CT+).

RC385

Vibrio cholerae RC385 is an O135 serotype strain. It was from a persistent and luminescent environmental isolate from Chesapeake Bay (Genotype: TCP- CT- NAG ST+).

V51

Vibrio cholerae V51 is a serotype O141 clinical isolate from the United States.

V52

Vibrio cholerae V52 is a serotype O37 clinical isolate from the Sudan.

MZO-2

Vibrio cholerae MZO-2 was isolated from patients with diarrhea in Bangladesh in 2001. This strain is an O14 serotype and does not have genes for the cholera toxin or the toxin-coregulated pilus.

MZO-3

Vibrio cholerae MZO-3 is clinical isolate from Bangladesh. This strain is an O37 serotype and does not have genes for the cholera toxin or the toxin-coregulated pilus.

AM-19226

Vibrio cholerae AM-19226 is an O39 serotype and is a clinical isolate from Bangladesh. It does not have genes for the cholera toxin or the toxin-coregulated pilus.

2740-80

Vibrio cholerae 2740-80 is a nontoxigenic environmental isolate from the Gulf Coast.

1587

Vibrio cholerae 1587 is a clinical isolate from Peru. It is an O12 serotype and does not have genes for the cholera toxin or the toxin-coregulated pilus, two important virulence factors in Vibrio cholerae.
