Bratislava

Bratislava Jez Bratislava 1960

The strain was isolated in Czechoslovakia from the kidney of a hedgehog (Erinaceus roumanicus) in 1953 (Kmety, 1954). It was later submitted to factor analysis and described as a new serovar named bratislava (Kmety, 1960). In Dikken and Kmety's publication (1978) it is placed in the subgroup Jalna.
A footnote in the list of serotypes of 1967 (WHO, 1967) states that the nomenclature of this serovar is being examined further. Doubts concerning the naming of this serovar occurred because both names L. erinacei europei and L. esposito appeared in literature of 1954 (Ananyin), and 1955 (Smith and Brown) respectively, but neither publication contained a valid description of the serovar.
