A new salmonella type: Salmonella miyazaki (9, 12: 1, z 13: 1, 7)

Abstract

A new microorganism with biochemical reactions typical for the Salmonella group is described, isolated from the feces of the members of a family suffering from acute gastroenteritis. The antigenic formula can be expressed as 9, 12: 1, z 13: 1, 7. The name Salmonella miyazaki is suggested for this culture. We wish to thank Dr. F. Kauffmann, Statens Seruminstitut, Copenhagen, who has con firmed the antigenic formula of the culture. © 1958, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases Editorial Committee.
