Characterization of Vibrio cholerae isolated from oysters

R M Twedt et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1981 Jun.

Abstract

Of 790 samples of oyster shellstock freshly harvested during a 12-month survey, 111 (most of which were harvested from June through August) contained Vibrio cholerae non-O1 (611 strains), and seven contained O1 Inaba (11 strains) organisms. None of the V. cholerae strains isolated were enterotoxigenic by immunological and biological tests.
