    Abstract:
    Virulence properties of the environmental isolate of vibrios from natural waters of Yangon, Myanmar were studied. Vibrio spp. were isolated for identification by the membrane filtration method and cultured on thio-sulphate-bile-sucrose media. No Vibrio cholerae O1 were isolated. V. cholerae non-O1 were the major vibrio species isolated from the samples. None of them were detected for cholera-toxin-like toxin, thermostable direct haemolysin, or heat-stable enterotoxin. Sixty-one isolates gave haemolytic activity; 27 V. cholerae non-O1 and 6 V. fluvialis isolates produced protease.
