Chong, Kwon, Lee, Kim, and Min: Non-O group 1 Vibrio cholerae Septicemia and Peritonitis - Report of Two Cases -

Abstract

Two strains of non-O group 1 Vibrio cholerae (non-0:1V. cholerae) were isolated from blood of a woman who had undergone a gastrectomy and from peritoneal fluid of a man with an impaired liver function. Microbiology laboratories in countries where raw fish and shellfish are frequently consumed should consider the possibility of non-0:1 V. cholerae when they identify vibrios from extraintestinal sources.
