Abstract
SUMMARY: In experimental models of cholera, some strains of Vibrio cholerae harbouring P or V or both plasmids were markedly less pathogenic than isogenic strains devoid of these plasmids. This effect was due to decreased production of toxin by P+, V+ or P+V+ bacteria compared with their parents.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
