Reassignment of the Intermediate Strains of biovar 5 to on the Basis of the Somatic (O) Antigens Free

Abstract

The 181 bacteria classified as biovar 5 considered to be a group intermediate to and were found, in all cases, to possess O-specificities characteristic of O-serovars. Isolates of the intermediate group showed biochemical reactions characteristic of except for positive reactions in tests for urea hydrolysis. The reassignment of the intermediate strains ( biovar 5) to is advocated.
