[Four new Salmonella species and three serological variants of subgenus III (Arizona) (author's transl)]

Abstract

Four new strains of Salmonella and three serological variants described in this paper were isolated from free living snakes (Vipera berus L. and Natrix natrix L.) of Northern Germany. All strains belong to the subgenus III of the genus Salmonella. For the first time a representative of subgenus III in the Salmonella group M with the serological formula S. arizonae 28:Z10:Z57 was isolated. 1) S. (6),14:1,v:z (Ar. 7 a,7c:23-31) 2) S. 17:Z10:e,n,X,Z15:Z56 (Ar. 12:27-28-38) 3) S. 21:1,v:Z57 (Ar. 22:23-40a,40c) 4) S. 28:Z10:Z57 (Ar. 35:27-40a,40c) 5) S. 38:(k):Z35:Z56 (Ar. 16:22-21-38) 6) S. 43:1,v:Z56 (Ar. 21:23-38) 7) S. 50:Z10:Z:Z56 (Ar. 9a,9c:27-31-38)
