The virulence of two environmental strains of Vibrio vulnificus to iron-loaded adult mice was enhanced by passage through mice. Estimates of 50% lethal dose values (LD50) determined by end point titration were reduced 100- and 1000-fold for the two strains. Passage through mice also selected for the opaque colony type phase variation of V. vulnificus, reported by others to be more virulent to mice than a translucent colony type.
