Non-O1/O139 group of Vibrio cholerae can cause human acute diarrhea disease,while compared with the O1 and O139 groups;it often ignore the risk of the disease for human being.Therefore,we analyzed the molecular characteristics of 31 V.cholerae isolated from Yunnan Province.We used the agar disc diffusion method (K-B) to carry out the antibiotic sensitivity test;polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification for the detection of virulence gene;at the same time,all of strains were performed for pulse field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST).The drug sensitivity test showed that 67.74％ strains were resistant to rifampin,29.03％ resistant to nalidixic acid and cotrimoxazole,all of the isolates were sensitive to gentamicin and ciprofloxacin;PCR results showed that all strains had the ompW gene,87.10％ strains had hly gene,25.81％ strains had rstREl tor,16.13％ strains had rstRClassical and tcpAEl tor,while CT rfbO1 and rfbO139 gene were negative;PFGE results showed that 31 strains had a trend of discrete height,the same PFGE identity pattern was not nearly found;for the analysis of MLST,we found the one new alleles of gyrB,four new alleles of mdh gene,six new alleles of metE gene,two new alleles of pntA,three new alleles of purM and four new alleles of pyrC gene.After permutation and combination,we found 17 new ST types for V.cholerae(ST273-ST289).Non-O1/O139 group V.cholerae showed a high degree of diversity,while the non-O1/O139 group of V.cholerae in Yunnan Province has a certain geographical features,which enriched the existing molecular typing system of V.cholerae.

AIM:To investigate the in vitro killing effect of adenovirus-mediated herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene(HSV-TK) driven by hypoxic response element(HRE) on hepatoma cell line HepG2.METHODS:Recombinant adenoviral vector Ad-HRE-TK was constructed with HSV-TK under the control of HRE using AdEasy system.Then Ad-HRE-TK was transfected into hepatoma cell line HepG2 and the cells were cultured under normoxic or hypoxic conditions.After treated with GCV for 3 d,the sensitivity to GCV of HepG2 was measured by MTT method.RESULTS:Over 95% HepG2 cells infected with Ad-HRE-TK cultured under hypoxic condition were killed when the MOI was 100 and the concentration of GCV was 50 mg/L.On the contrary,no killing effect of GCV was observed in cells cultured under normoxic condition.CONCLUSION:HRE promotes the expression of HSV-TK specifically under hypoxic condition and induces the specific killing effect of GCV.
