Molecular epidemiological study of Vibrio cholerae isolates from infected patients in Teheran, Iran.

abstract：:A total of 2401 isolates of Haemophilus parainfluenzae was isolated from respiratory secretions of 36 healthy adults and 128 patients with chronic bronchitis over a period of 1 year. The isolates were allocated to eight biotypes, by their production of indole, urease and ornithine decarboxylase. Biotypes I and II cons...
