[Pathogenic and antigenic properties of NAG-vibrios isolated from man and environmental objects]

A study was made of the pathogenic properties of NAG-vibrios on various experimental animals (917 guinea pigs, 609 nursling rabbits, and 203 rabbits aged from 20 to 24 days). The results obtained were compared with the reference to definite serological groups. Pathogenic NAG vibrios proved to be encountered in all the serological groups studied. The presence of pathogenic NAG-vibrios was mostly noted among the cultures belonging to the 2nd, 5th, 8th and 18th serological groups. The majority of serological groups isolated from man were also revealed among the cultures obtained from water.
