DESCRIPTION OF THE DIFFERENT SPECIES, OTHER GROUPS 743 



fowls in the United States (Mallmann et al. 1942). The O antigen was given originally 

 aa XIII. Non-pathogenic to mice by the mouth. 



Salm. gaminara A.F. XVI, d < — > 1, 7 . . . 



Isolated from a child in Uruguay suifering from dysenteriform enteritis (Hormaeche and 

 PelufFo 1939). Hormaeche and Peluffo, who analysed the d antigen of this and other 

 salmonellae, give the following distribution : — Salm. gaminara d, dg, dj ; Salm. Stanley 

 d, dg ; Salm. amersfoort d, d2, dg ; Salm. muenchen d, dg, d4 ; Salm. typhi d, d^. The 

 non-specific phase contains an antigen that has not been met with in other species of 

 Salmonella. Pathogenic for rats by the mouth and subcutaneouslj', if given in large 

 doses, and for rabbits intravenously and subcutaneously. The non-specific phase is 

 said to be more toxic than the specific phase. 



Salm. szentes A.F. XVI, k<--^ 1. 2, 3 . . . 



Described by Rauss (1943). O antigen appears to be identical with that of Salm. 

 hvittinqfoss. 



Salm. kirkee A.F. XVII, b ^-^ 1, 2 . . . 



Isolated from the stools of an infant in India suffering from diarrhoea of the dysenteric 

 type (Bridges and Diuibar 1936). The O antigen was given originally as XIV. 



Salm. cerro A.F. XVIII, z^, Zjs, 2^5 — . 



Isolated in 1936 from the pooled mesenteric lymph nodes of normal pigs in Uruguay. 

 Later isolated from infants suffering from enteritis and sometimes rhino-pharyngitis 

 (Hormaeche, Pelufifo and Aleppo 1941). Found in imported American spray-dried egg. 

 Shares the Z4 antigen with duesseldorf and arizona. 



Salm. kentucky A.F. (VIII), XX, i ^-^ z^ . . . 



Isolated from a chicken in the United States suffering from enteritis (Edwards 1938), 

 and from pheasants (Edwards 1939). Found also in a human case of gastro-enteritis 

 in the United States (Bornstein and Saphra 1942) ; in a mild case of febrile diarrho?a 

 in Palestine and in camels in Palestine (Olitzki 1942) ; and in imported American 

 spray-dried egg in Great Britain. The Palestine strains differed from the American 

 kentucky strains in minor fermentative respects. 

 Salm. minnesota A.F. XXI, XXVI, b < — > e, n, x . . . 



Isolated from a turkey poult (Edwards and Bruner 1938). (See also Kauflfmann 

 1939a). Found by Hormaeche, Peluflfo and Aleppo (1940) in infantile diarrhoea in Uruguay. 

 Isolated from American spray-dried egg. The b antigen is not completely identical with 

 that of Salm. paratyphi B. 



Salm. tel-aviv A.F. XXVIII, y ^^ e, n, Zjj . . . 



Isolated from a sick cow, and from an epidemic disease of chickens accompanied by 

 a 50 per cent, case mortality in Palestine. Studied by Kauffmann (1940a). 



Salm. pomona A.F. XXVIII, y < — > 1, 7 . . . 



Salm. ballerup A.F. XXIX, [Vi], z^^ — . 



Isolated from the fseces of a woman in Denmark who had a history of gastro-enteritis 

 lasting for several weeks (Kauffmann and Moller 1940). Somatic antigen contains also 

 a small amount of the XIX fraction related to senftenherg. Salm. ballerup forms two 

 types of colony. The relatively stable V form, which is smooth and opaque, contains 

 a Vi antigen : the unstable W form, which is smooth and translucent, does not. The 

 Vi antigen is the same as that in Salm. typhi and Salm. paratyphi C, and will immunize 

 mice against the V form of Salm. typhi (Kauffmann and Moller 1940). Similarly, rabbit 

 serum containing Vi antibodies to Salm. ballerup affords passive protection to mice against 

 inoculation with Salm. typhi (Longfellow and Luippold 1943). Both the V and the W 

 forms of Salm,. ballerup are relatively non-pathogenic to mice by the mouth and intra- 

 peritoneally. An extra flagellar antigen Zg^ is said to be present (Monteverde and Leiguarda 

 1944).
