### History of serovar:

The strain was isolated in 1970 from a patient in the province of Yunnan, China, and described by Gao et al. (1984) as a new serovar named menrun, reference strain A 102. Its srovar status was confirmed by a RL, and it was therefore recognized by the TSC (Manchester, 1986). Because of incomplete documentation the strain is listed with i.d. in the Revised List of 1988 (Kmety, Dikken, 1988), and in the attached updated list.
