Abstract

The transferase gene wbeT of six clinical isolates of Vibrio cholerae O1 biotype El Tor was analysed. Two unique mutations were identified in the wbeT gene of three Inaba isolates. Due to their random nature, mutations in wbeT can be used to determine the clonal origin of clinical Inaba isolates.
