Step 1 : Target Preparation
The first rate-limiting step in the detection of Vibrio Cholerae is the extraction of its DNA. To this aim, the bacteria has been deeply studied, as well as the current DNA extraction techniques.
1. Vibrio Cholerae
1.1 Classification & Generalities
V.Cholerae is a thin gram-negative proteobacterium that has a flagellum which gives it mobility [2]. This bacteria is responsible of cholera disease, causing severe contagious epidemia. This bacteria use to grow in basic conditions (Optimal growth pH : 9) [1] with 1-3% NaCl in liquid or solid mediums [3].
1.2 Growth in laboratory
Aeroanerobic bacteria grown on conventional media. Optimum growth in medium with 1 to 3% NaCl pH 9, in liquid media (Colonies in 3-4 h at the surface) or in solid media (colonies in 8-10 hours). The bacterium can also grow on bile salt media. According to these characteristics, alkaline peptone water pH 8.6 3% NaCl can be used as an enrichment medium as well as an alkaline agar pH 9. Colonies are 2 to 3 mm in diameter and are smooth, Flat and transparent. [3]
1.3 Tanks and contamination
Main V.Cholerae tanks are humans and dirty water, it seems that global warming is creating favorable conditions to this bacillus [4]. Even if there are many kinds of this bacteria, only 2 serogroups are directly responsible of Cholera : O1 and O139. Human transmission is linked to inappropriate access to clear water. This bacteria can survive more than 15 days in water. Contaminations are also possible with contaminated food like vegetables or fishes, The infectious dose is between 106 and 1011 vibrios ingested [5]. The infectious dose depends on gastric acidity (the lower the acidity, the fewer vibrios required to cause infection)[6]
