abramis



History of serovar:

The strain was isolated from a patient in Malaysia sometime during the years 1953-195 and described as a new serovar of the Pyrogenes group named abramis, ref. strain Abraham (Alexander et al., 1957).

The strain was submitted to factor analysis by Kmety (1967), who confirmed its separate status and sugested that the serovar should be placed in the subgroup Zanoni (Dikken, Kmety, 1978).
