Resumen
Isolation and genetic characterization of an environmental Vibrio cholerae O1 from the Amazon is reported.
This strain lacks two major virulence factors - CTX and TCP - but carries other genes related to virulence.
Genetic similarity with epidemic strains is evaluated and the importance of V. cholerae surveillance in the
Amazon is emphasized.
