Definition and Aetiology
Cholera is marked as one of the acute dia
heal infection caused by bacterial infection. This bacterium is entitled as Vi
io cholerae. The intestines get mainly affected by the over hydration, dilution of food and lack of ability to process intakes of food that normal human body can afford. In other words, such as several stomach infection, cholera affects the proper functioning of the intestines.
The potential source of cholera is contaminated water; there are more than 2 million cases every year across globe registered for cholera spread. The disease is at times reckoned as contagious too though; it spreads through sharing of the same contaminated water source, which is used by inflicted. The other sources of spread are known related to various food choices that are unhealthy or unhygienic by nature. The nature of the Vi
io cholerae is said to be toxigenic.
Transmission of Cholera
In the context of noticing the transmission of Cholera, it can be stated here that it spreads through the contaminated water and food sources, as stated above. However, precisely seeing this disease as epidemic, it mainly spreads when cholera bacteria pre-exist in the water source consumed by a specific individual or the whole population. The studies also justify that the spread of cholera is likely possible through the contaminated faeces of the patient. This happens mainly because of the fact that there is no proper sewage treatment or the waste management in the area, where cholera has
oken out.
Epidemiology and Pathogenesis
At microbiological level, the aetiology of Vi
io cholerae is perceived sensitively because of is resistance to salt and comma such as shape. Vi
io cholerae is Gram-negative rod like bacteria and it is highly tolerant to salt, which makes it even extreme fatal than the other bacteria causing intestine infection (Liu & Kan, 2021). Its forms can be viable but it appears to be non-culturable. Its identification is done through selective media and lab tests through microbiology. There are two serogroups, which have been identified so far for as responsible for the out
eak of epidemic (Lepuschitz et al., 2019). These are known as O1 and O139. If the clinical examination of the same is done upon the bases of the phenotypic and genotypic concepts, the sub divisions of these serogroups are possible. O1 is divided into two phenotypic categories known as Classical and E1 Tor (Irenge et al., 2020).
Further, there is specific mechanism followed by the...
