In a serologic survey of stray and pet dog populations of Georgia, serums were screened for Brucella canis antibodies, using the slide agglutination test. If results were positive, B canis antibody titers were determined, using the standard tube agglutination test. The stray dogs had significantly (P less than 0.01) higher titers than did the pet dogs. The reactor rate was 58% higher for the slide agglutination test than for the tube agglutination test. The manufacturer's evaluation of the slide agglutination test was based on a comparison of the serologic results of that test with those of the tube agglutination test, using a comparative method that permitted the results to be interpreted as 99% agreement between the 2 tests. Reevaluation of the manufacturer's data by a different method indicated that the slide agglutination test is very accurate when the results are negative (99.7% specific) but less so when the results are positive (62.5% sensitive).
在佐治亚州对流浪狗和宠物狗群体进行的一项血清学调查中，使用玻片凝集试验对血清进行犬布鲁氏菌抗体筛查。如果结果呈阳性，则使用标准试管凝集试验测定犬布鲁氏菌抗体滴度。流浪狗的滴度显著高于宠物狗（P小于0.01）。玻片凝集试验的反应率比试管凝集试验高58%。制造商对玻片凝集试验的评估是基于将该试验的血清学结果与试管凝集试验的结果进行比较，采用一种比较方法，该方法可将结果解释为两种试验之间的一致性为99%。用不同方法对制造商的数据进行重新评估表明，玻片凝集试验在结果为阴性时非常准确（特异性为99.7%），但在结果为阳性时准确性较低（敏感性为62.5%）。
