The virulence of two environmental strains of Vibrio vulnificus to iron-loaded adult mice was enhanced by passage through mice. Estimates of 50% lethal dose values (LD50) determined by end point titration were reduced 100- and 1000-fold for the two strains. Passage through mice also selected for the opaque colony type phase variation of V. vulnificus, reported by others to be more virulent to mice than a translucent colony type.
两株创伤弧菌环境菌株经小鼠传代后,对铁负荷成年小鼠的毒力增强。通过终点滴定法测定的50%致死剂量值(LD50)估计,这两株菌株分别降低了100倍和1000倍。经小鼠传代还筛选出了创伤弧菌的不透明菌落型相变,其他人报告称,该菌落型对小鼠的毒性比半透明菌落型更强。
