Vibrio cholerae TaqMan PCR Kit size: 100 preps

Background Information

Vibrio cholerae is a gram-negative, comma-shaped bacterium that causes cholera, a severe diarrheal disease. Cholera spreads mainly through contaminated food or water and affects the upper small intestine. Infected individuals often experience intense watery diarrhea and vomiting, due to the cholera toxin produced by the bacteria. These symptoms can lead to rapid dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, making cholera potentially life-threatening without prompt treatment. Despite global efforts, cholera continues to impact over 5 million people annually.
