“…Gross serosal hemorrhage (Figure 1) was also found to be similar with previous reports [6,[79][80][81][82][83]. The histopathological sections reflected trans mural congestion and excessive ulceration in mucosa and submucosa which also support the previous report [6,[84][85][86][87][88]. The detection of Vibrio cholerae was confirmed with all possible microbiological and molecular techniques.…”

Vibrio cholerae O139 is well known as the causative agent of cholera. It is noninvasive but many reports suggested it to cause bacteremia which brings in a little controversy with the previously reported old literature especially after reported histopathological invasion pattern of Vibrio cholerae O139 and Vibrio cholerae O1 ElTor. The rabbits were processes for ileac loops inoculation of Vibrio cholerae O139 followed by biochemical and molecular analysis of the presence of Vibrio cholerae O139 in liver, gall bladder and bile. We concluded the presence of Vibrio cholerae in liver, bile and gall bladder homogenized tissue. Retrograde spreading of bacteria to the liver via the common bile duct was excluded by complete closure of the intestinal lumen distant to the duct in the intestinal lumen. However, the bacteria might traffic, probably via macrophages, to distant area in the body including the liver. Another study in future is a need to identify the lesions of Vibrio cholerae invasions within liver and gall bladder by immunohistochemistry and using GFP visibility for Vibrio cholerae passage.

“…Numerous studies indicate that when a unit is operating, the flow of water through the unit causes the detachment of biofilm fragments with individual bacterial cells, which may cause the development of a biofilm in another part of the installation, and they may be transferred directly into the patient's mouth or patients and dental healthcare workers may be exposed to aerosols generated by dental units. In addition, factors contributing to the development of a biofilm are: elevated temperature, water stagnation during periods when patients are not treated and the presence of inorganic compounds in water, which are often found in significant concentrations mainly in municipal water [12,18,27].…”

Background: Water supplied to the dental units must be of sufficient quality. The article presents the results of the microbiological analysis of cold municipal water which flows into a patient's disposable mouthwash cup, and demineralized water which flows through a waterline into the tool panel of a dental unit from the tank placed in the water group. Material and Methods: In order to assess the degree of purity (impurities) of water used in dental units, 2 series of microbiological tests were carried out in 6 dental surgeries from April to June, 2013. The water samples for microbiological testing were collected into sterile microbiological bottles in accordance with the current methodology. The water for the tests was collected from a sterile cup-filling tap (municipal water) and from an air/water syringe (demineralized water). The bacteria were cultured according to the Polish Standards -PN-EN ISO 6222, PN-EN ISO 9308-1, and PN-EN ISO 16266. Results: In the tested samples of water numerous psychrophilic bacteria (max 29 100 CFU/ml) and mesophilic bacteria (max 24 700 CFU/ml), including single coliforms, were found. Conclusions: The results show that water delivered to a dental unit should be periodically tested bacteriologically and in terms of physical and chemical properties. Water systems of dental units should also be periodically disinfected to eliminate bacteria and biofilm.

“…Especially in Northern Europe (Baltic Sea), infections of swimmers have been predominantly caused by V. cholerae nonO1/nonO139 (Baker-Austin et al 2016b). Some serious infections of swimmers due to V. cholerae nonO1/nonO139 have also been reported from other European countries (Stypulkowska-Misiurewicz et al 2006;Huhulescu et al 2007;Sterk et al 2015;Dobrovic et al 2016;Engel et al 2016;Hirk et al 2016;Maraki et al 2016). The observed increase in infection frequency has been linked to global warming and the significantly increased water temperatures observed in many aquatic environments (Baker-Austin et al 2016b;Vezzulli et al 2016).…”

Application of three different methods to determine the prevalence, the abundance and the environmental drivers of culturableVibrio choleraein fresh and brackish bathing waters

AimsThree cultivation methods were used to study the prevalence and abundance of Vibrio cholerae in Eastern Austrian bathing waters and to elucidate the main factors controlling their distribution.Methods and Results Vibrio cholerae abundance was monitored at 36 inland bathing sites with membrane filtration (MF), a standard most probable number (MPN) approach and direct plating (DP). Membrane filtration yielded the most reliable and sensitive results and allowed V. cholerae detection at 22 sites with concentrations up to 39 000 CFU per 100 ml, all belonging to serogroups other than O1 and O139 and not coding for cholera toxin and toxin coregulated pilus. Direct plating turned out as an easy method for environments with high V. cholerae abundances, conductivity was the only significant predictor of V. cholerae abundance in the bathing waters at warm water temperatures.Conclusions Vibrio cholerae nonO1/nonO139 are widely prevalent in Eastern Austrian bathing waters. Instead of the standard MPN approach, MF and DP are recommended for V. cholerae monitoring. Conductivity can be used as a first easy‐to‐measure parameter to identify potential bathing waters at risk.Significance and Impact of the Study Vibrio cholerae nonO1/nonO139 infections associated with bathing activities are an increasing public health issue in many countries of the northern hemisphere. However, there are only limited data available on the prevalence and abundance of V. cholerae in coastal and inland bathing waters. For monitoring V. cholerae prevalence and abundance, reliable and simple quantification methods are needed. Moreover, prediction of V. cholerae abundance from environmental parameters would be a helpful tool for risk assessment. This study identified the best culture‐based quantification methods and a first quick surrogate parameter to attain these aims.
