During the summer of 1961 an outbreak of atypical mastitis in a small herd of dairy cattle was investigated. The clinical findings, which included a single abortion, were suggestive of leptospirosis and serological studies indicated that a serotype other than the usual L. pomona was the causative agent. A fastidious leptospire recovered from the urine of one cow has been identified as L. hardjo, a member of the hebdomadis group. The difficulties encountered in isolation, adaptation to standard media and serotyping are described.
1961年夏天,对一小群奶牛中爆发的非典型乳腺炎进行了调查。临床症状包括一例流产,提示可能感染钩端螺旋体病,血清学研究表明,致病因子是一种不同于常见波摩那群的血清型。从一头奶牛尿液中分离出的一种苛求钩端螺旋体已被鉴定为七日热群的哈焦钩端螺旋体。文中描述了在分离、适应标准培养基和血清分型过程中遇到的困难。
