We present molecular evidence that a distinct genotype of Vibrio cholerae O1 which appeared in Calcutta, India, in September 1993 and which is characterized by a unique ribotype that is not found in the standardized ribotyping scheme of V. cholerae and that shows a specific pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profile may have spread to the west African country of Guinea-Bissau where it was responsible for an epidemic of cholera which began in October 1994 and continued into 1996.
我们提供了分子证据,表明1993年9月出现在印度加尔各答的一种独特的霍乱弧菌O1基因型,其特征是具有一种在霍乱弧菌标准化核糖体分型方案中未发现的独特核糖体分型,并显示出特定的脉冲场凝胶电泳图谱,可能已传播到西非国家几内亚比绍,在那里它引发了一场始于1994年10月并持续到1996年的霍乱疫情。
