MEDICAL DICTIONARY
Cholera genome: The genome of the bacterium called Vibrio cholerae that causes cholera . This genome contains over 4 million bases in its DNA including the sequences for nearly 4,000 genes.
The V. cholerae genome is remarkable in that it is arranged in two circular chromosomes . The larger of the two chromosomes has the usual housekeeping genes, similar to those, for example, of E. coli , the common colon bacillus. The smaller chromosome contains many of the genetic elements that make V. cholerae pathogenic (capable of causing disease).
