Abstract:
The development of experimental cholera in suckling rabbits is associated with typical cholerogenic syndrome: the presence of Vibrio cholerae in the blood, bile (in 60 and 70% cases, respectively), small and large intestine (in 100% cases). Simultaneously with enterocyte desquamation and increased permeability of the blood-enterocyte barrier, the vibrios are released into villous stroma and then into the microcirculatory bed. the zot toxin is involved in the mechanism of Vibrio cholerae invasion, the corresponding gene is present in the genome of the studied strain.
