This prompted us to investigate the event. Cases were recruited through hospital-based surveillance along with the collection of socio-demographic characteristics and clinical profile using a structured questionnaire. Stool specimens were tested at bacteriological laboratory of the National Institute of Cholera and Enteric Diseases (NICED), Kolkata. Admission of 3003 diarrhoea cases, clearly indicated occurrence of outbreak in Kolkata municipal area as it was more than two standard deviation of the mean number (911; <jats:sc>s.d.<\/jats:sc> = 111) of diarrhoea admissions during the same period in previous 7 years. Out of 164 recruited cases, 25% were under-5 children. Organisms were isolated from 80 (49%) stool specimens. <jats:italic>Vibrio cholerae<\/jats:italic> O1 was isolated from 50 patients. Twenty-eight patients had this organism as the sole pathogen. Among 14 infants, five had cholera. All <jats:italic>V. cholerae<\/jats:italic> O1 isolates were resistant to nalidixic acid, followed by co-trimoxazole (96%), streptomycin (92%), but sensitive to fluroquinolones. We confirmed the occurrence of a cholera outbreak in Kolkata during August 2015 due to <jats:italic>V. cholerae<\/jats:italic> O1 infection, where infants were affected.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268819000529","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,29]],"date-time":"2019-03-29T05:15:24Z","timestamp":1553836524000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Post-monsoon waterlogging-associated upsurge of cholera cases in and around Kolkata metropolis, 2015"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"147","author":[{"given":"Asish K.","family":"Mukhopadhyay","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alok K.","family":"Deb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Goutam","family":"Chowdhury","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Falguni","family":"Debnath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Prosenjit","family":"Samanta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rudra Narayan","family":"Saha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Byomkesh","family":"Manna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mihir K.","family":"Bhattacharya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dharitri","family":"Datta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keinosuke","family":"Okamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Uchhal K.","family":"Bhadra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6897-7390","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shanta","family":"Dutta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0950268819000529_ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/AAC.45.5.1605-1606.2001"},{"key":"S0950268819000529_ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3329\/jhpn.v29i5.8895"},{"key":"S0950268819000529_ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3329\/jhpn.v29i1.7561"},{"key":"S0950268819000529_ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.41.10.4502-4511.2003"},{"key":"S0950268819000529_ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0112973"},{"key":"S0950268819000529_ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3201\/eid1501.080543"},{"key":"S0950268819000529_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1101\/pdb.prot4455"},{"key":"S0950268819000529_ref15","unstructured":"Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (2015) Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Disk Susceptibility Tests; Approved Standard-Twelfth Edition (M02-A12).
