Effect of coccoid morphology on colonization of the infant mouse cholera model. The reference strain was inoculated for 16 h prior to the CM50 incubation time points to compete bacterial cells in rod morphology against bacteria in either rod or cocci morphology (depending on the incubation time in CM50).
