[Structure of the Salmonella from animals, birds and the environment through the period of 1970-1975].

Studied were biochemically and serologically the species of a total of 8738 Salmonella cultures. Most of the investigated strains belonged to subgenus I--95 species; to subgenus II belonged one species (Salmonella sofia); to subgenus III belonged 4 species: Salmonella arizonae 11:b:1, 7; Salmonella arizonae 35:r:z35; Salmonella arizonae 35:z52:1, 5, 7; Salmonella arizonae 58:rz53:z57 of three serologic groups. The attention was focused on more than 20 (new to this country) Salmonellae among which a Salmonella bulgaria species new to the Salmonella genus. Data are given for the origin of the strains, the biochemical and serologic behaviour, the sensitivity to phage O1 and the phage types of Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella enteritidis.
