Abstract
- Vibrio cholerae non-O1/O139 strains are widely distributed in the environment such as sewage, estuarine waters, seafood, seawater, animals and contaminated foods in Europe, Asia, and the United States. V. Cholerae non-O1/O139 is the etiologic agent of gastroenteritis and extraintestinal infections such as bacteremia and wound infection. Gastroenteritis by Vibrio cholerae non-O1/O139, a prevalent disease in western countries and Asia, is considered rare in Korea. The authors isolated V. cholerae non-O1/O139 from a stool of a 2 year-old male with diarrhea and mild fever. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of V. cholerae non-O1/O139 gastroenteritis in Korea.
