Vibrio cholerae cause cholera in humans. In this study, the occurance of Vibrio cholerae in the surface waters of Golestan province, was investigated. Materials&Methods: The APW and TCBS agar culture media were used for primary isolation of Vibrio cholerae and the exact species identification were done by performing the following tests oxidase reaction, growth in 0% , 1% , 3% , 6% salt solution, lysine and ornithine decarboxylase, Arginine dehydrolase, ONPG and VP test, simmon citrate, bile esculin, indole, CAMP reaction, string test and specific antisera to V.cholerae 01. to confirm the findings, the special antiserum Ogawa and Inaba, were used. Results: We were able to isolate 42 Vibrio spp. from a total of 54 water samples collected. The species included 35 non-01 V.cholerae (84.2%), 2 V.mimicus (2.63%) and 5 V.cholerae 01 (13.1%) isolat.
