Abstract: (12435 Views)
Background and Objectives: Cholerae disease caused by toxigenic V. cholerae, is a major public health
problem in developing countries including Iran. Epidemiological surveillance and comparative molecular
analysis of isolates have demonstrated clonal diversity among epidemic strains and a continual emergence of
new clones of toxigenic V.cholerae.
Material and Methods: A total of 20 V.cholerae strains were sent to Pasteur Institute of Iran in September of 2007 from Kordestan province which includes strains of different sub-serotypes. After biochemical identification, isolates subjected to molecular analysis including Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) of NotI digested genomic DNA according to the standardized protocol by Centre of Disease Control (CDC).
Results: PFGE results showed a single pattern for all isolates.
Conclusion: The results were interpreted in comparison with patterns obtained by isolates of previous years and showed clonal dissemination of a new clone in Kordestan province in this year.
