Abstract
Fifty-seven new O serogroups have been added to the existing serotyping scheme ofVibrio cholerae to extend the scheme from O84 to O140. Prominent new additions were serogroups O139 and O140. The reference strain of O139 was isolated from a patient from an epidemic of cholera-like diarrhea in Madras, Southern India. Serogroup O140 was assigned to a group ofV. cholerae strains which were tentatively named as the Hakata serogroup and which possessed the C (Inaba) factor but not the B (Ogawa) nor the A (major specific antigen of O1 serogroup ofV. cholerae). As all antisera against reference strains ofV. cholerae contained some amount of antibody to the rough (R) antigen, all diagnostic O antisera must be absorbed with the reference rough strain, CA385.
