One strain, SBF 2, represents a new genetic strain of serovar kwale, while another strain, SBF 49, is a new genetic strain closely related to serovar nigeria. Three strains belong to a new serovar for which the name mombe with reference strain SBF 20 is proposed. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis indicated that each of these three strains represents a different restriction polymorphism pattern group. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-44-3-541
