A cholera outbreak in Laos in July 2010 involved 237 cases, including 4 deaths. Molecular subtyping indicated relatedness between the Vibrio cholerae isolates in this and in a 2007 outbreak, uncovering a clonal group of V. cholerae circulating in the Mekong basin. Our finding suggests the subtyping methods will affect this relatedness.
2010 年 7 月老挝发生的霍乱疫情涉及 237 例病例,包括 4 例死亡。分子亚型分析表明,此次和 2007 年疫情中霍乱弧菌分离株存在关联性,揭示了湄公河流域流行的霍乱弧菌克隆群。我们的研究结果表明,亚型分析方法会影响这种关联性。
