Conclusion

Vibrio fetus disposes of or can produce very active mucinase which affects the mucinous matter of the estral mucus of cows, but does not affect hyaluronic acid. The effect of the mucinase ofVibrio fetus is shown in a pronounced decrease of viscosity of the mentioned mucus. It is very likely that the mucinase ofVibrio fetus acts only in a specific substratum. Such a mucolytic activity should be taken into account when the pathogenic action of this agent is to be explained.
