Abstract
One hundred fifty-seven isolates possessing the biochemical traits associated withVibrio cholerae were submitted to an extensive phenotypic characterization. A numerical analysis of the results suggested that isolates presently assigned to the biotypescholerae, eltor, andalbensis ofV. cholerae do not possess consistent phenotypic differences supporting their separation into distinct biotypes. The results further indicated that clinical and environmental isolates of non-O1 serotypes ofV. cholerae are phenotypically indistinguishable from strains ofV. cholerae serotype O1. This study also confirmed the persistent presence ofV. cholerae in the Australian environment.
