title: Salmonella lamphun: first isolation of a new Salmonella serovar in Thailand.
abstract: Two isolates of a new Salmonella serovar, Salmonella Lamphun were discovered from animal feeds in Thailand, in 2003, which belongs to group C, with antigenic formula 6,8:y: 1,2. Both isolates were susceptible to all antimicrobials tested. The pulsed field gel electrophoresis pattern of both isolates comprises 11 DNA fractions sized 48, 65, 77, 105, 110, 170, 244, 330, 337,453 and 1,135 kbp. Up to April 2005, no human or animal infection by this new Salmonella serovar was reported.
