Two cases of Vibrio cholerae non-O1/non-O139 septicaemia with favourable outcome in Lebanon

Vibrio cholerae species can be divided into 2 major groups: cholera-causing strains of the serogroups O1 and O139, and non-O1 V. cholerae (NOVC). Non-O1 V. cholerae (NOVC) typically does not elaborate cholera toxin. It is also antigenically distinct from the V. cholerae O1 and O139 strains, which cause epidemic cholera in many countries.
