PG - 8-12 AB - AIM: Determination of non-O1/non-O139 Vibrio cholerae toxin (CT) gene expression by using EIA, and biological effect of non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae supernatant on cell cultures evaluation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 39 V. cholerae strains from various serological groups were studied. Hemolytic activity of strains was determined by using Greig test, and cholera toxin production--in GM1-EIA and in continuous cell lines by registering cytotonic, cytotoxic and proteolitic effect. RESULTS: GM1-EIA method does not detect CT production in 29 museum strains of non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae in vitro. CT was detected only in 1 non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae strain supernatant with OD = 0.577 that is substantially lower than in O1 V. cholerae strains (OD = 2.176). In cell cultures non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae supernatants diluted to 1:100 caused elongation only in single cells. CONCLUSION: Cytological model is a more sensitive technique to evaluate toxin producing abilities of non-O1/non-O139 V. cholerae strains and is appropriate for use.
