Virulence and resistance patterns of Vibrio cholerae non-O1/non-O139 acquired in Germany and other European countries.

ABSTRACT: Global warming has caused an increase in the emergence of Vibrio species in marine and estuarine environments as well as fresh water bodies. Over the past decades, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has evolved among Vibrio species toward various antibiotics commonly used for the treatment of Vibrio infections. In this study, we assessed virulence and resistance patterns of Vibrio cholerae non-O1/non-O139 strains derived from Germany and other European countries. A total of 63 clinical and 24 environmental Vibrio cholerae non-O1/non-O139 strains, collected between 2011 and 2021, were analyzed. In silico antibiotic resistances were compared with resistance phenotypes according to EUCAST breakpoints. Additionally, genetic relatedness between isolates was
