Genomics of the Argentinian cholera epidemic elucidate the contrasting dynamics of epidemic and endemic Vibrio cholerae

Pandemic cholera was reintroduced to Argentina in 1992, leading to epidemic spread. Here, the authors use whole genome sequencing to show how, over 6 years, epidemic cholera was caused by invariant 7PET lineage Vibrio cholerae, against a background of sporadic disease caused by diverse local strains...
