Growth agglutination and growth inhibition tests were established for the diagnosis of Brucella abortus infection. The former involves the agglutination of living organisms while the latter is a bactericidal test. Using mouse, guinea-pig, rabbit and bovine serum it was shown that the growth agglutination test is approximately ten times, and the growth inhibition test one hundred times, more sensitive than the conventional tube agglutination test. It is suggested that these techniques may be of assistance in diagnosing bovine brucellosis in situations in which the tube agglutination test results are suspected of being falsely negative.
为诊断牛流产布鲁氏菌感染建立了生长凝集试验和生长抑制试验。前者涉及活生物体的凝集，而后者是一种杀菌试验。使用小鼠、豚鼠、兔和牛血清表明，生长凝集试验的灵敏度比传统试管凝集试验高约10倍，生长抑制试验的灵敏度高约100倍。建议在怀疑试管凝集试验结果为假阴性的情况下，这些技术可能有助于诊断牛布鲁氏菌病。
