Abstract
Epidemic and endemic cholera in humans is caused by Vibrio cholerae 01. Infection occurs through the oral route by ingestion of contaminated food and water. If vibrios successfully escape the acidic environment of the stomach, they arrive in the small intestine, where a series of pathogenic events occur that result in colonization of vibrios and release of cholera toxin. The net result is the onset of diarrhea and associated clinical symptoms of cholera.
