[Salmonella landwasser: a new serotype of Salmonella subgenus I (3,10:z:z6)].

A new Salmonella serotype (3,10:z:z6) was isolated from a fecal specimen of a lizard (Lacerta viridis) imported from Northern Italy. The strain was accepted as a new Salmonella, Subgenus I, on January 11, 1980, by Prof. Le Minor, International Salmonella Centre Paris. The organism was introduced into the Kauffmann-White-Scheme, Supplement XXIII as S. landwasser in referring to the first isolation in a Veterinary Research Institut in Landwasser, a suburb of Freiburg (FRG).
