title: [Lecithinase activity of Vibrio cholerae and of vibrios not agglutinated by O-cholera serum].
abstract: The lecithinase activities of 187 V. cholerae strains differing in their virulence and 70 cultures of NAG vibrios of different origin varied in all experimental groups. The level of lecithinase activity in the groups of V. cholerae strains having low virulence, or no virulence at all, was considerably higher than in virulent strains. NAG vibrios isolated from diarrhea patients and from samples of lake and pond water did not differ in the activity of this enzyme.
