Virulence of three clinical isolates of Vibrio cholerae non-O-1 serogroup in experimental enteric infections in rabbits.
Three Vibrio cholerae, [ill] isolates, pathogenic in both adult rabbit ligated ileal loop and infant rabbit assays, produced no heat-labile or heat-stable toxins. Their pathogenicity did not correlate with the presence of plasmids.
