Advances in detection of Vibrio cholerae infection

Abstract:

Nowadays, global water quality has been improved significantly with the development of public health. However, the death rate caused by cholera epidemic is still high in developing countries. Vibrio cholerae, the exact pathogen for the cholera epidemic, has been categorized as a Class A infectious disease in China. At present, a series of effective detection techniques for Vibrio cholerae have been established worldwide. In this study, recent advances on detection technology of Vibrio cholerae, including microbiology immunology, molecular biology, biosensors and rapid detection technology methods, were summarized. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of various technology were compared, and the market demand of vibrio cholerae detection in the future was addressed.
