Description
Cholera infection. Computer illustration showing close-up view of cholera bacteria (Vibrio cholerae) in small intestine. V. cholerae is a Gram-negative comma-shaped bacillus bacterium. Vibrio cholerae is a waterborne pathogen, transmitted to humans through drinking water contaminated by human or animal faeces. Cholera infects the intestine causing vomiting and diarrhoea, and the patient may die from severe dehydration. Outbreaks of cholera are associated with poor sanitary conditions and may occur in epidemic proportions.
