The dynamics of the distribution and adhesion of V. cholerae in the intestine of suckling rabbits has been studied. The quantitative method for the in vivo determination of the adhesive activity of V. cholerae has been developed with the use of suckling rabbits as an experimental model. The method may be used for the determination of V. cholerae virulence and the pathogenesis of cholera.
