Abstract
In Vibrio vulnificus, virulence for eels is associated with serovar E strai ns. In this study, we investigated some biological properties of purified l ipopolysaccharides (LPSs) from serovar E and non-serovar E strains. Purifie d LPSs retained their O-polysaccharidic side chains and did not show any di fferences that could be related to host specificity, except for serological differences.
