RefA-RefQ: ORT strains of serotypes A to Q that have been used for production of reference antisera for serological typing of ORT field strains [9]. n.t.: ORT strain that could not be typed with available antisera A to L.
a Slight serotype cross-reactions of ORT strains are given in parentheses.
b The serotype of the respective ORT strain was not determined, as only DNA was available for MLST analysis.
