Cephalosporin-Resistant – V. cholera
Third-Generation Cephalosporin– Resistant Vibrio cholerae, India
Vibrio cholera resistance to third-generation cepha- losporins is rarely reported. We detected a strain that was negative for extended-spectrum β-lactamase and positive for the AmpC disk test, modified Hodge test, and EDTA disk synergy test and harbored the blaDHA-1and blaNDM-1genes. The antimicrobial drug susceptibility profile of V. cholera should be monitored.

El Cólera ha afectado a los seres humanos por más de un milenio y persiste como una de las causas de enfermedad y muerte en el mundo, con epidemia recientes en Zimbabwe (2008–2009) y Haiti (2010). Clinicamente, existen evidencias del severo incremento de la enfermedad relacionado con la aparición microorganismos atípicos de Vibrio cholerae que han incorporado el material genético de cepas del biotipo clásico en un fondo biotipo El Tor.

Haiti’s cholera outbreak provides important lessons for global health
A study into how a disease previously unknown in Haiti eventually led to the world’s worst cholera epidemic offers valuable lessons for global health, say researchers from the US charity Partners in Health.
What is believed likely to be the first case of cholera in Haiti after the earthquake in January 2010 has been traced to a 28 year old man with severe mental health disorders who lived in a rural village in central Haiti downstream from the suspected source of the outbreak—a UN peacekeepers’ encampment.
Lead researcher Louise Ivers told the BMJ that this case is “illustrative of the curious way infectious diseases can now rapidly move around the planet and show …
