A total of 120 Vibrio species were isolated from 588 patients with acute diarrheal disease during an outbreak of gastrointestinal tract infections at different locations in the lower Cross River Basin of Nigeria. Vibrio cholerae O1, biotype El Tor, serotype Ogawa, was the prominent organism isolated from the Vibrio-associated diarrheal cases. During the 3 months of study, V. cholerae non-O1 was recovered from 10 patients while Vibrio parahaemolyticus was recovered from 19 patients. The significance of this study is the recognition that there is an ecological niche which supports V. cholerae non-O1 and V. parahaemolyticus in the Cross River Basin of Nigeria.
在尼日利亚克罗斯河下游流域不同地点的一次胃肠道感染暴发期间,从588例急性腹泻病患者中总共分离出120株弧菌。霍乱弧菌O1群,生物型埃尔托,小川血清型,是从与弧菌相关的腹泻病例中分离出的主要菌株。在3个月的研究期间,从10例患者中分离出非O1群霍乱弧菌,从19例患者中分离出副溶血性弧菌。这项研究的意义在于认识到在尼日利亚克罗斯河盆地存在一个支持非O1群霍乱弧菌和副溶血性弧菌生存的生态位。
