Abstract

Eleven spp. isolates with the antigenic type 11:z:e,n,z - not referred to in the 9th edition of the White-Kauffman–Le Minor Scheme - were identified at the National Reference Laboratory for in Greece. Their pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles were indistinguishable. No apparent epidemiological link has yet been identified; the results of a case–case study are pending.
