A total of 148 Vibrio cholerae isolates from a major shrimp production area in Southern Thailand were examined by colony hybridisation for genes encoding heat-stable enterotoxin (NAG-ST) and cholera toxin (CT). Only non-O1 V. cholerae strains were found to harbour NAG-ST (14 of 146) whereas no strains hybridised with the CT probe. NAG-ST positive V. cholerae non-O1 strains were isolated from shrimp farms situated close to urban areas.
