A convenient and reliable method for serogrouping meningococci, based on immunospecific precipitation haloes in antiserum-agar plates, is described. It gave concordant results with conventional slide-agglutination in 900 strains of groups A, B or C tested. The antiserum-agar can also be used as a primary isolation medium for detecting nasopharyngeal carriers of a certain serogroup if antibiotics are added.
本文描述了一种基于抗血清琼脂平板上的免疫特异性沉淀晕圈对脑膜炎球菌进行血清分组的便捷可靠方法。在对900株A、B或C群菌株进行测试时,该方法与传统玻片凝集法结果一致。如果添加抗生素,抗血清琼脂也可用作检测特定血清群鼻咽部带菌者的初代分离培养基。
