Two boric acid tolerant variants were developed by passage in boric acid containing media from a mouse virulent parent Vibrio cholerae strain. The variants were stable, exhibited increased acid resistance, were less virulent to mice, but protected mice against challenge with the mouse virulent parent strain.
