Vibrio cholerae correct answers Gram negative comma-shaped & flagellated rods. 2 chromosomes, pH sensitive, halophilic, oxidase +. 2-3d incubation; produces rice water stools with dehydration (sunken eyes and cool skin). Electrolyte imbalance leads to muscle cramps. CT is a complex A-B toxin; A subunit translocates to ADP ribosylate the Gs subunit. cAMP levels rise, leading to water loss. Quorum sensing influences expression of virulence. At low density LuxO-P activates sRNAs that target HapR, t...
