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.
产毒霍乱弧菌O141血清型与美国的散发性霍乱样腹泻及血流感染有关。食用海鲜和靠近海岸可能会增加感染风险。从腹泻患者粪便样本或正常无菌部位分离出的所有霍乱弧菌菌株都应进行血清分型，并评估其霍乱毒素产生情况。需要加强监测和病例对照研究，以进一步明确霍乱弧菌O141感染的疾病特征和危险因素。
