Abstract

Cholera, caused by the bacteria Vibrio cholerae, can be life-threatening but it is easily prevented and treated. It is caused by eating food or drinking water contaminated with Vibrio cholerae.V. cholerae was first isolated by Italian anatomist Filippo Pacini in 1854. Later  Robert Koch, publicized the knowledge of cholera. The bacterium's natural habitat is brackish or saltwater, and globally, cholera cases have increased steadily since 2005.
