Molecular identification and pathogenicity study of virulent Vibrio cholerae non O1/O139 serotype associated with mortality of farmed Labeo rohita (Hamilton, 1822), in India

Vibrio cholerae is a gram-negative bacteria known for causing epidemics and pandemics conditions, comprised of both non-pathogenic and pathogenic strains. The present study identified a nonO1, non-O139 V. cholerae (EMM1) serotype isolated from diseased Labeo rohita cultured in a wetland system at Purba Medinipur district, West Bengal, India. Identification of the isolate was done by biochemical test, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and phylogenetic...
