The proposed neotype strain of Vibrio cholerae Pacini, National Collection of Type Cultures (NCTC) 8021, is compared with 258 isolates of nonhaemolytic V. cholerae to explore the parameters of the species. The distribution of 51 characteristics among these strains is expressed quantitatively. A few V. cholerae strains which (A) ferment arabinose, (B) fail to ferment sucrose, and (C) do not produce indole were found to possess Gardner and Venkatraman heat-stable O Group I antigen.
