Abstract
In this study, we demonstrated that analyzed strains of Vibrio mimicus and Vibrio cholerae could be separated
in two groups by using multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MEE) data from 14 loci. We also showed that the
combination of four enzymatic loci enables us to differentiate these two species. Our results showed that the
ribosomal intergenic spacer regions PCR-mediated identification system failed, in some cases, to differentiate
between V. mimicus and V. cholerae. On the other hand, MEE proved to be a powerful molecular tool for the
discrimination of these two species even when atypical strains were analyzed.
