Abstract:
Background: Cholera remains recurrent in Nigeria, with outbreak location and magnitude varying over time in relation to population displacement, flooding, rapid urban growth, and constraints in water and sanitation services. Published microbiological and genomic studies describe circulation of seventh-pandemic Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor lineages in Nigeria, with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) reported in multiple isolate series and occasional reports of non-O1/non-O139 strains.
