Invasive properties of toxigenic and nontoxigenic Vibrio cholerae of different serogroups

Research Institute for Plague Control, Rostov-on-Don, Russia

Experimental data on the comparative study of the invasive properties of vct⁺ Hly‾ and vct‾ Hly⁺ V.cholerae of serogroups 01 and 0139 are presented. Both vct‾ Hly⁺ and vct⁺ Hly‾ V.cholerae of serogroups 01 and 0139 have been shown to be capable of dissemination into internal organs. No differences in the dissemination of V.cholerae of different serogroups in both immunologically immature and mature experimental animals have been detected.
