[Factors in the spread of diseases caused by nonagglutinating vibrios studied by using the data from strain serotyping].
The method of the serotyping of strains was used for the epidemiological evaluation of the role of different factors in the transfer of infective agents in 147 cases of diseases and carrier state, caused by NAG vibrios, in Karakalpakia. Out of 150 NAG vibrio strains, 136 strains were serotyped and classified with 26 serovars. The strains were found to belong mostly to serovars 47, 37, 5 and 6 (42.0%). Most of the infected persons (58.5%) used water from open water bodies for household purposes. The role of water factor in the spread of infection was confirmed by a wide spectrum of serologic variants, a low index of the focal outbreaks (1.02), and sporadic pattern of infection. No group morbidity or toxinfection-type outbreaks were recorded.
