This flashcard summarizes the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, covering its main symptom (rice-water diarrhea) and mechanism (cholera toxin that increases cAMP, causing ion and water secretion). It also addresses its acid resistance (resistant), infectious dose (low, unless on antacids), and treatment (rehydration and doxycycline/azithromycin/ciprofloxacin).
