Abstract
Electron microscopic examination showed that all strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus examined had pili on their surface when the organism was grown on marine agar at 28.degree. C for 6-12 h. The pili were morphologically stable on heat treatment at 60.degree. C for 10 min, but both the lateral and polar flagella possessed by this organism were labile. No immunological cross-reactivity between pili of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and Vibrio cholerae non-01 and those of V. parahaemolyticus was observed.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
