Abstract:
Vibrio cholerae colonization of the suckling mouse intestine is a commonly used animal model for the human diarrheal disease cholera. This model has a number of advantages as well as disadvantages, and has been extremely useful in the identification and characterization of proven and putative virulence factors involved in human cholera.
