Cholera bacteria use hair-like appendages called pili to attach to surfaces. In this image, the pili are labeled with a fluorescent green dye. (Image credit: Fitnat Yildiz and Kyle Floyd) ...

In this work, the researchers used genetic and structural data, computational tools, and a technique called genome-scale metabolic modeling (GSMM) to learn more about Vibrio cholerae, the bacterium ...

Cholera is easy to prevent and costs just pennies to treat, but huge outbreaks have swamped even well-prepared health systems in countries that had not confronted the disease in years.

Cholera is a bacterial disease typically spread by food and water, leading to severe diarrhea and dehydration. It has been on the rise around the world since 2021. Each year, there are some 1.3 to ...

Yet this suffering is needless. Transmission of cholera can be stopped in its tracks – and sustainably prevented – through adequate access and investment in safe water, sanitation and hygiene.

Cholera cases in Africa had actually been on a downward slide and hit a low in 2020, he said. But then came an uptick in West Africa in 2021, followed by the current outbreak in the southern part ...
