Response of wild-type mutants of Vibrio cholerae O1 possessing different combinations of virulence genes in the ligated rabbit ileal loop and in Ussing chambers: evidence for the presence of additional secretogen.

Abstract excerpt

Five wild-type mutant strains of Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 that lacked the CTX virulence cassette, or contained a natural deletion of a virulence gene within the CTX virulence cassette, or possessed an additional virulence gene, along with a prototype toxigenic strain representing the El Tor classical biotypes were examined by in-vivo and in-vitro methods to determine their enterotoxic potential. The ability...
