The study was developed to analyze the plasmidial DNA, research virulence genes and identify genetic diversity of 31 strains of Vibrio cholerae non-O1 isolated from zooplankton of the Bacanga and Anil rivers in São Luis-MA. The study of plasmidial DNA showed 2 or 3 plasmids from 10 strains between 5.5 and 40 kilobasis. There was only single ribotype pattern. PCR methods did not show the genes ctxA, ace and zot, while RADP-PCR identified genetic diversity in the strains, showing the potential for variability in this species.
