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...
