Natural antimicrobials called microcins are produced by bacteria in the gut and show promise in fighting infection. On the left, a Vibrio cholerae strain that produces the antimicrobial MvcC (center) ...

Scientists have created a genomic blueprint for Aeromonas bacteria, which can cause antibiotic-resistant diarrheal disease—with symptoms often misidentified as cholera—in humans and animals.

In regions where cholera is an endemic disease causing periodic seasonal outbreaks, the bacterial pathogen (Vibrio cholerae) lives between outbreaks in aquatic ecosystems such as coastal estuaries.
