Factor Analysis of Saprophytic Serogroup Doberdo of Leptospira biflexa and Characterization of Serovars zoo and drahovce

Abstract
Major and minor antigens of serovar members of the saprophytic leptospiral serogroup Doberdo were defined by factor analysis. This serogroup could be characterized by 2 main antigens which served to distinguish members of this group from strains of other serogroups which possess other, common antigens. Factor analysis of 2 new strains of leptospires, V-2 and V-7/2, ascribed to serogroup Doberdo revealed that strain V-2, serovar drahovce, is a typical representative of the group, whereas strain V-7/2, serovar zoo, is not representative.
