This serogroup could be characterized by two main antigens which served to distinguish members of this group from strains of other serogroups which possess other, common antigens. In addition, factor analysis of two new strains of leptospires, V-2 and V-7/2, ascribed to serogroup Doberdo revealed that strain V-2, serovar drahovce, is a typical representative of the group, whereas strain V-7/2, serovar zoo, is not representative. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-27-2-63
