A process for the isolation of nontoxinogenic V. cholerae strain and a process for preparing a cholera vaccine from said V. cholerae strain, said process comprising (a) isolating V. cholerae from the stool of a patient suffering from cholera by spreading the stool on a selector medium specific for V. cholerae, (b) separating the non-toxinogenic V. cholerae strain from the population of the V. cholerae strains isolated in step (a), the strain having been deposited at Microbial Type Culture Collection (MTCC) at the Institute of Microbial Technology (IMT), Chandigarh, India, a constituent laboratory of the applicants and having the Accession no. MTCC B0010 which has also been deposited at American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Maryland, USA and having Accession no. ATCC 202010, and (c) incorporating immunogenic cholera toxin (ctx) B subunit gene into the chromosome of the strain having the Accession no. MTCC B0010 (ATCC 202010) by conventional methods to produce the vaccine.
