| Abstract: | A serogroup of Vibrio fluvialis possessing the C (Inaba) antigen but not the B (Ogawa) nor A antigen of V. cholerae O1 is described. The O-antigen of this serogroup was identical with that of bioserogroup 1875-variant of a marine Vibrio species. As the O-antigen of this serogroup was not agglutinated by any of O-antisera for the 18 serogroups of V. fluvialis already recognized, it was designated O-serogroup 19 of this species. |
