What causes chdera?

Cholera is primarily caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, which is typically transmitted through contaminated water or food. Poor sanitation, inadequate access to clean drinking water, and lack of proper hygiene practices contribute to the spread of the disease. Outbreaks often occur in areas with overcrowded living conditions and insufficient sewage treatment. When ingested, the bacteria produce toxins that lead to severe diarrhea and dehydration, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.
