Haemolysis as a means of distinguishing between Leptospira interrogans serovars balcanica and hardjo

S. C. Hathaway and R. B. Marshall

Leptospira interrogans serovar balcanica was haemolytic for washed human, cattle, sheep and possum red blood cells (RBC); serovar hardjo was non-haemolytic. A test for haemolysis may prove useful in the preliminary differentiation of balcanica and hardjo isolates. Balcanica was non-haemolytic for unwashed RBC from human and bovine donors whose serum contained Hebdomadis serogroup antibody. Haemolytic activity tended to disappear with repeated subculture of balcanica.
