Introduction. The expression of the ctxAB and tcpA-F genes encoding the main pathogenicity factors of the Vibrio cholerae is controlled by regulatory genes. The structure of these genes has not been fully studied in the pathogen strains isolated during different periods of the current pandemic. The aim of the study was a comparative analysis of the structure of regulatory genes of V. cholerae O1 biovar El Tor strains isolated on the territory of the Russian Federation and neighboring countries d
