Abstract

Effect of iron in the form of ferric oxide (Fe₂O₃) on the survival of V. cholerae O1 was studied. V. cholerae O1 survived for 8 days in plain water whereas in presence of Fe₂O₃ it survived up to 15 days. Presence of organic material in the water further promoted the bacterial survival by at least 4 days. There was no difference between the behaviour of El Tor and classical biotype. These results indicate that the presence of iron in water could promote the survival of V. cholerae O1 in water and may play a significant role in the epidemiology of cholera.
