The results of the bacteriological examination of material obtained from 71 patients with acute gastrointestinal diseases for the presence of vibrioflora, as well as the results of surveying different groups of population for the detection of vibrio-carriers are presented. The clinical and epidemiological data obtained in the course of various diseases caused by nonagglutinating vibrios are analyzed. The biological properties of nonagglutionating vibrio cultures isolated from patients and vibrio-carriers are described. The data thus obtained substantiate the necessity of carefully evaluating nonagglutinating vibrio cultures isolated from humans with due regard for the existing epidemic situation.
