Toxigenic O1/O139 is causative of cholera, which is a well characterised potentially epidemic gastrointestinal disease. Less is known about the pathogenesis and clinical presentation of non-toxigenic non-O1/non-O139, although they are increasingly implicated in human disease globally, have been isolated from various South African water sources and can contaminate the environment. The authors describe a case of pseudo-bacteraemia with non-toxigenic non-O1/non-O139 in a neonate.
产毒的O1/O139是霍乱的病原体,霍乱是一种特征明确的潜在流行性胃肠道疾病。关于非产毒的非O1/非O139的发病机制和临床表现知之甚少,尽管它们在全球范围内越来越多地与人类疾病相关,已从南非各种水源中分离出来并可污染环境。作者描述了一例新生儿非产毒的非O1/非O139引起的假性菌血症病例。
