O:H serotypes previously found to be prevalent among a number of toxigenic strains from several geographic areas were examined for polysaccharide K antigen type. Members of each O:H serotype had the same type of K antigen and were found to be characterized by a certain fermentation pattern. Some O:H serotypes had no K antigen. The serofermentative types defined were: 06:K15:H16, 08:K40:H9, 015:H11, 025:K7:H42, 025:K98:H}-, 078:H11, 078:H12, and 0149:H10. Some strains of the last-mentioned serotype, which were suspected of having caused a food-borne infection, had K88. This serotype belongs to the group of strains causing diarrhea in swine. |
