Notes:
Live oysters were inoculated with 01 V. cholerae or non-01 V. cholerae and the liquor from the oysters was spread onto thiosulfate citrate bile salts agar plates. After incubation the colonies with yellow centers were picked and streaked onto sheep blood agar plates. Biochemical tests were performed on all colonies. Isolates exhibiting characteristic V. cholerae reactions were checked for serological identity and inoculated into a vibrio medium. After incubation, the isolates were further analyzed for lactic and succinic acids by gas-liquid chromatography. Peak height ratios of lactic/succinic acid provided a testing parameter to distinguish all isolates of 01 V. cholerae from non-01 V. cholerae isolates recovered from the oysters.
