[Evaluation of a method for the serological identification of Vibrio cholerae non-01].
The development of a method for serological identification of toxigenic and nontoxigenic V. cholerae non-O1, as well as on their role in human pathology, is reviewed. The evaluation on this method when used for establishing the etiology of acute diarrhea cases and analysis of sporadic diseases and group outbreaks of alimentary toxicoinfection type. Different points of view on the formation of toxigenic clones of V. cholerae non-O1 in nature is considered. The necessity for further development of the serological typing method is substantiated and the tasks of its improvement are set.
