A study was carried out on the relation between virulence of V. vulnificus assessed by LD50 in mice and other markers. V. vulnificus strains isolated from seafoods had LD50 ranging from 10(3)-10(7) for mice. Strains showing LD50 10(6) or less were generally haemolytic and settled after boiling. Resistance to bactericidal action of serum and ability to take up congo red was shown by all the strains.
