There are hundreds of serotypes of Vibrio cholerae bacterium. Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 are the main causes of cholera. El Tor is a serotype of Vibrio cholerae that is recently discovered.
Yes. Cholera causes death not because of the poison released by the Vibrio cholerae bacterium but by causing the patient to have diarrhea. If not treated, the patient would loss large amount of water and electrolytes and this ultimately cause death.
A really Informative blog however I do recommend that you guys provide us with other Bio facts such as the bacteriophage,E coli and etc which would be really helpful.Thanks
