Abstract

SUMMARY

serovar balcanica was haemolytic for washed human, cattle, sheep and possum red blood cells (RBC); serovar was non-haemolytic. A test for haemolysis may prove useful in the preliminary differentiation of and was non-haemolytic for unwashed RBC from human and bovine donors whose serum contained Hebdomadis serogroup antibody. Haemolytic activity tended to disappear with repeated subculture of .
