“…Preincubation of Caco-2 cells with purified capsular polysaccharide from encapsulated strain NRT-36S inhibited binding of this strain by at least 50%, while capsular polysaccharide from a different encapsulated strain was not found to inhibit binding. Interestingly, strains of V. cholerae O139 also produce a polysaccharide capsule (195) which could possibly contribute to a case of septicemia reported with this serogroup (190).…”

Despite more than a century of study, cholera still presents challenges and surprises to us. Throughout most of the 20th century, cholera was caused by Vibrio cholerae of the O1 serogroup and the disease was largely confined to Asia and Africa. However, the last decade of the 20th century has witnessed two major developments in the history of this disease. In 1991, a massive outbreak of cholera started in South America, the one continent previously untouched by cholera in this century. In 1992, an apparently new pandemic caused by a previously unknown serogroup of V. cholerae (O139) began in India and Bangladesh. The O139 epidemic has been occurring in populations assumed to be largely immune to V. cholerae O1 and has rapidly spread to many countries including the United States. In this review, we discuss all aspects of cholera, including the clinical microbiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical features of the disease. Special attention will be paid to the extraordinary advances that have been made in recent years in unravelling the molecular pathogenesis of this infection and in the development of new generations of vaccines to prevent it.

“…In important virulence characteristics, specifically, the CT and toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP) (see below) of V. cholerae O139 are indistinguishable from those of the typical El Tor V. cholerae O1 strains. Interestingly, V. cholerae O139 does not produce O1 LPS and produces a polysaccharide capsule which may contribute to the case of septicemia as having been associated with this serogroup (Jesudason et al, 1993).…”

“…We report that endemic toxigenic V. cholerae O141 infection is associated with cholera-like diarrhea and bloodstream infection in the United States. Bloodstream infection has been noted for V. cholerae O139 [15], but only rarely for V. cholerae O1 [16], and may represent retention of the invasive propensity of the non-O1 serogroups of V. cholerae even after acquisition of genes that code for cholera toxin. Seafood appears to be a possible vehicle for foodborne transmission of serogroup O141, as it is for V. cholerae serogroup O1 [17], and the residence of patients in coastal states, although a potential marker of seafood consumption, raises the possibility that exposure to marine or estuarine environments is a risk factor.…”

Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae serogroup O141 has been associated with sporadic cholera-like diarrhea and bloodstream infection in the United States. Consumption of seafood and proximity to the coast may increase the risk of infection. All V. cholerae isolates recovered from stool samples of patients with diarrhea or from a normally sterile site should be serogrouped and assessed for cholera toxin production. Improved surveillance and case-control studies are needed to further characterize illness and risk factors for V. cholerae O141 infection.
