Abstract

Both clinical and environmental multidrug-resistant strains of Vibrio cholerae (O1 and non-O1) have been reported from different parts of the world. In this study, we have cloned twenty-five genes associated drug resistance in Vibrio cholerae non-O1 NCTC4716 using shotgun cloning method. All of the cloned genes were introduced and expressed in a drug hypersusceptible host Escherichia coli KAM32. We observed elevated minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of various antimicrobial agents such as fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, ethidium bromide and others in all transformants.
