Serotyping of Chlamydia: isolates of bovine origin.

RESUMO

Chlamydial isolates of bovine origin were serotyped by a plaque reduction method. Of the two major serotypes observed, type 1 included isolates from bovine abortion and enteric infections, whereas type 2 isolates were associated with polyarthritis or encephalomyelitis. These two serotypes were identical to those with a similar disease distribution previously observed in isolates of ovine origin. The two groups did not cross-react and they were serologically unrelated to chlamydiae of avian origin. Thus, it appears that many chlamydial isolates causing intestinal infections or abortion in sheep or cattle are closely related antigenically, as are those producing polyarthritis, encephalomyelitis, and conjunctivitis, and that the two groups are distinct.
