Summary:V. cholerae strains and mutants devoid of adhesive activity and possessing very high adhesive activity were found in the collection under study. As a rule, cholerigenic strains possessed high or moderate adhesive activity, while in noncholerigenic strains the coefficient of adhesiveness varied over a wide range. The existence of a definite pronounced correlation between lecithinase activity and adhesiveness was established. Hemolysin-producing strains were found to possess high adhesive activity considerably more frequently than nonhemolytic strains.
