摘要：

Vibrio cholerae are Grain-negative bacteria capable of producing serious infections. They are differentiated into Ol and non-Ol serogroups, depending on their ability to agglutinate with specific antiserum. In contrast to non-Ol V. cholerae, which are more prone to invading the bloodstream, V cholerae Ol is rarely the cause of bacteremia. We describe 2 cases of O and non-Ol V cholerae bacteremia in patients with hepatitis C virus cirrhosis. We postulate that the hemolytic properties of the isolates contributed to their virulence in immunocompromised hosts. (c) 2006 Published by Elsevier Inc.
