Abstract
Strong positive CAMP reactions were demonstrated by 121 Vibrio cholerae O139 and 504 El Tor isolates, and weak positive CAMP reactions were shown by 235 non-O1, non O139 isolates when these isolates were tested by a modified CAMP technique. Thirty-five classical biotype V. cholerae O1 isolates included in the tests were all CAMP negative.
