title: The first case of bacteraemia due to non-O1/non-O139 Vibrio cholerae in a type 2 diabetes mellitus patient in mainland China.
abstract: Bacteraemia due to non-O1/non-O139 Vibrio cholerae is rarely documented in mainland China. We report such a case in a 70-year-old male with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The clinical features, phenotypic analyses, and presence of a panel of known virulence genes in the isolated strain are described. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of bacteraemia due to this strain in a T2DM patient without other coexisting underlying diseases in mainland China.
