This bacterium produces an exotoxin which causes cells in the intestine to excrete large amounts of water, producing a watery, and classically rice-water diarrhea. Cholera is a diarrheal illness caused by a toxin produced by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. The toxin causes massive amounts of water to be excreted into the lumen of th â¦ e bowel, thus producing copious watery diarrhea.
Symptoms of cholera also include fever and vomiting. If left untreated, cholera can be fatal in a matter of hours, according to the Mayo Clinic. The current outbreak in Haiti has infected more than 1,500 people, Haitian medical officials told news sources. The bacterial disease is spread by water and food that has been contaminated by the Vibrio cholera bacterium. Modern sewage and water treatments have made cholera outbreaks a thing of the past in industrialized countries, according to the Mayo Clinic. Cholera was a huge problem in America during the 19th century, before we were able to get it under control, Harris told Life's Little Mysteries. The last major cholera outbreak in the United States occurred in 1911, when cholera-infected vessels arrived in New York City ports and spread the deadly disease.
