Filipino Pacini was credited with the first finding of cholera, but this was only credited to him 80 years after his death in 1865 when the international committee credited it.

During such studies, Pacini first discovered a comma-shaped bacillus which he described as a Vibrio. He published a paper in 1854 entitled, "Microscopical observations and pathological deductions on cholera" in which he described the organism and its relation to the disease.

It wasn t until 1883 that the cholera bacteria was discovered again independently by the German physician Robert Koch. By this time the western medical establishment was ready to accept the fact that microorganisms did indeed cause illnesses such as cholera.

The newly discovered gene is the second such regulator of biofilm formation found in cholera bacteria. Yildiz discovered the other regulatory gene in previous work done at Stanford University. The findings suggest that biofilm formation is controlled by a complex regulatory network of molecular signals.
