Overview
Vibrio cholerae has many different types or serogroups. Only two them can cause epidemic cholera if they also produce the cholera toxin. Those two serogroups include serogroup O1 and serogroup O139.[1]
Classification
- Vibrio cholerae has many different types or serogroups
- Only two of which can cause epidemic cholera if they also produce the cholera toxin. Those two serogroups include:[1]
- Serogroup O1
- Serogroup O139 (found only in Asia)
- Serogroups which can cause a less severe diarrheal disease and does not have epidemic potential include:
- Non-O1 and non-O139 Vibrio cholerae (third most commonly reported group of Vibrio bacteria)
