Phylogenetic Diversity of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Vibrio cholerae</named-content> Associated with Endemic Cholera in Mexico from 1991 to 2008
ABSTRACT An outbreak of cholera occurred in 1991 in Mexico, where it had not been reported for more than a century and is now endemic. Vibrio cholerae O1 prototype El Tor and classical strains coexist with altered El Tor strains (1991 to 1997). Nontoxigenic (CTX−) V. cholerae El Tor dominated toxige...
