[The use of micromethods for the identification of Vibrios].

The authors recommend micromethods for laboratory studies of Vibrio; such methods may be widely used at bacteriologic laboratories for examinations of biochemical characteristics of these microorganisms, for rapid identification of V. cholerae 01, and for serologic identification (typing) of V. cholerae non 01, since they accelerate the diagnosis and are much simpler than macromethods.
