Background

Cholera is caused by Vibrio cholerae, the most feared epidemic diarrheal disease because of its severity. Dehydration and death can occur within hours of infection. Robert Koch discovered V cholerae in 1883 during an outbreak in Egypt. The organism is a comma-shaped, gram-negative aerobic bacillus whose size varies from 1-3 µm in lenght by 0.5-0.8 µm in diameter. Its antigenic structure consists of a flagellar H antigen and a somatic O antigen.
