Abstract
O:139 is a new serotype of Vibrio cholerae that is not agglutinated by an O:1 antiserum but causes epidemics of cholera. Strains of O:139 se rotype are resistant to O/129 compound and many antibiotics but are se nsitive to tetra-cyclines and tiliquinol-tilbroquinol (Intetrix). The clinical management of the patients infected with serotype O:139 is id entical to that of usual choleric patients. However the immunological difference with O:1 serotype must lead to reconsider both the diagnosi s and the vaccinating strategies of cholera.
