All You Need to Know About Cholera
Summary
V. cholerae colonies can form biofilms on both biotic and abiotic surfaces – including on shells, zooplankton, macroalgae, ship hulls, and plastic pollution (3-5). When traveling to an area where cholera is endemic, precautions should include adherence to proper hand hygiene, drinking only bottled water, and avoiding uncooked food. Whether your research involves quantifying data, learning about specific microbes, or testing out differential diagnosis tools– GIDEON has you covered with a program that has met standards for accessibility excellence.
