This paper describes the study of a mutant of Vibrio cholerae which is shown to be attenuated by its avirulence to mouse, rabbit and chick embryo. This mutant character is stable, and the avirulence of this strain probably results from its inability to multiply actively in the tissues of the infected animals. The need for the study of such attenuated strains as live vaccines in man is discussed, and certain aspects of immunity to cholera are reviewed.
