Popis: Objective To study virulence and regulatory genes ( hly A, ctx B, tcp I) in clinical strains of Vibrio cholerae ( V. cholerae ), simultaneously. Methods Three important genes, tcp I, hly A and ctx B were used for detection of toxigenic and pathogenic V. cholera by chain reaction assay method. Results According to the results of the PCR, the incidence of hly A, tcp I, and ctx B genes in clinical isolates was obtained as 94.7% (72 sample), 90.8% (69 sample), and 92.1% (70 sample), respectively. Five strains possessed all genes except ctx B, six strains possessed all genes except tcp I, four strains possessed all genes except hly A, one strain possessed only hly A and 60 strains contained a combination of three genes, Including hly A, ctx B and tcp I. Conclusions Result show that this method could be reliable to detect toxigenic-pathogenic strains of V. cholerae in Iran.
