[A new serotype of Salmonella: "Salmonella pisa (16:i:l,w)" (author's transl)]

A new Salmonella serotype with the antigenic formula 16:i:l,w and named S. pisa is described. The strain was recovered from the feces of a healthy person who had suffered enteritis during a previous sojourn in Ghana. The W.H.O. Salmonella Centre of Paris confirmed the antigenic structure and agreed with this designation.
