Abstract
A NEW Salmonella type has been isolated by us from the mesenteric gland of a normal pig. It ferments, with the production of acid and gas, glucose, mannitol, arabinose, dulcitol, rhamnose, trehalose, sorbitol, lævulose, mannose, galactose and xylose; and does not ferment lactose, sucrose, adonitol, erythritol, inulin, raffinose and salicin. It is indole-negative and H2S-positive, reduces nitrates to nitrites and does not hydrolyse urea; in Stern's, medium it is positive ; in Bitter's medium it is positive with glucose, arabinose and rhamnose, and negative with dulcitol ; on Simmons' agar it is positive with glucose, arabinose, dulcitol and rhamnose; it does not liquefy gelatine and is d-tartrate-, l-tartrate-, mucate- and citrate-positive. Its antigenic structure is VI1.VIII ; e,n(phase 2 is still under examination).
We suggest the name S. bonariensis for this new type.
