“…Both clinical and environmental strains of V. cholerae can survive intracellularly in a range of amoeba (Abd et al, 2004, 2005; Jain et al, 2006). Several studies have demonstrated that V. cholerae growth is enhanced when associated with free-living amoeba (Thom et al, 1992; Sandström et al, 2010; Valeru et al, 2012), further demonstrating the role amoeba play as environmental reservoirs of V. cholerae .…”

It is now well accepted that Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of the water-borne disease cholera, is acquired from environmental sources where it persists between outbreaks of the disease. Recent advances in molecular technology have demonstrated that this bacterium can be detected in areas where it has not previously been isolated, indicating a much broader, global distribution of this bacterium outside of endemic regions. The environmental persistence of V. cholerae in the aquatic environment can be attributed to multiple intra- and interspecific strategies such as responsive gene regulation and biofilm formation on biotic and abiotic surfaces, as well as interactions with a multitude of other organisms. This review will discuss some of the mechanisms that enable the persistence of this bacterium in the environment. In particular, we will discuss how V. cholerae can survive stressors such as starvation, temperature, and salinity fluctuations as well as how the organism persists under constant predation by heterotrophic protists.

“…Also, V. cholerae is able to infect and survive within free-living protozoa, so providing a vehicle for spreading this pathogen through the aquatic environment (Thom et al, 1992;Brown and Barker, 1999). Environmental strains of V. cholerae can persist intracellularly in a range of amoebae (Abd et al, 2004(Abd et al, , 2005Jain et al, 2006). Several studies have established that the growth of V. cholerae is boosted when it is linked with free-living amoeba, and this explains the role of amoeba as environmental reservoirs of V. cholerae (Thom et al, 1992;Sandström et al, 2010;Valeru et al, 2012).…”
