Abstract:
In this paper are reported the results of a comparative study of 4 "NAG" vibrio strains isolated in Italy and the vibrio biotype "E1 Tor" responsible of the 1973 outbreak. The "NAG" vibrios were practically identical with the "E1 Tor" vibrio in biochemical properties, polypeptide composition, enteritogenic activity in rabbit ileal loops and showed various antigenic similarities in gel precipitation and indirect immunofluorescence tests. The possible pathogenic role of the "NAG" vibrios is briefly discussed.
