Abstract

Six strains isolated from surface water and one isolated from bovine urine were classified as members of according to their antigenic and biological characteristics. Three new serovars were identified, for which we propose the names barbados, krefeldi, and neville. Serum sensitivity was tested for further biological characterization of the species.
