which organ is affected by cholera
Father. Physician. No human organ is directly affected by the bacterium responsible for causing cholera (Vibrio cholerae). 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.
