Abstract
- Vibrio cholerae non-O1/O139 strains are the organisms that are biochemically indistinguishable from V. cholerae but do not agglutinate in Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 antisera. V. cholerae non-O1/O139 strains are associated with gastroenteritis and extraintestinal infections such as bacteremia, peritonitis and wound infections. Gastroenteritis by V. cholerae non-O1/O139 is uncommon in Korea. We isolated V. cholerae non-O1/O139 from a stool specimen of a one year-old female with diarrhea and high fever.
