Abstract
In this study, three new antigens (O9, O10 and O11) of Yersinia pseudo tuberculosis are described. The O1 antigen is further subdivided into O1a, O1b and O1c. The methods used to prepare specific antisera for O- antigen identification are also described. Furthermore, the H antigens of these new serogroups are determined and their biochemical characte ristics analysed. The antigenic formulae of the known serogroups withi n the basic antigenic scheme introduced by the authors' laboratories a re presented.
