The authors studied population composition of 14 strains of EL Tor vibrios. Of 7 strains of Ogava serological type the population composition was homogeneous in 2, and heterogeneous in 5. All the 7 strains of EL Tor vibrios of Inaba serological type had homogeneous population composition. Changes of the existence conditions of EL Tor vibrios of Ogava serological type, containing in their population 5% cells of Hikoshima serological tupe, led to separation of the cells of Inaba serological type; under the same conditions, in El Tor vibrios of Ogava and Inaba serological type with homogeneous population the latter was stable.
