The comparative analysis of the production of the main pathogenicity factors by toxigenic and non-toxigenic clones of V. cholerae natural classical strain Dacca 35 Ogawa has been carried out. The data obtained in this analysis indicate that the appearance of turbid colonies, not synthesing cholera toxin, is linked with the production of an exopolysaccharide layer on the outer surface of the cells, which determines their morphology. The suggestion has been made that the regulatory gene toxR controls the expression of not only cholera toxin, protein OmpU, but also exopolysaccharide.

The results indicate the presence of a block of virulence genes within ura-pur chromosomal region of V.

A rapid and sensitive method for the detection of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 and Shigella flexneri serotypes in faeces based on capture of the bacteria with immunomagnetic particles is described. The particles were coated with either of two different monoclonal antibodies specific for the O-antigens of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 and Shigella flexneri serotypes. Captured bacteria were detected by an enzyme immunoassay with O-antigen specific rabbit antiserum.
