Gonococcal strains, isolated in two different geographical areas of central Sweden (Stockholm and Orebro County) during two corresponding time periods, were subjected to serogrouping by the co-agglutination method with reagents covering the previously described serogroups W I, W II and W III. All strains tested could be grouped. Significant differences were found between the two geographical areas studied. Isolates from different sites on one and the same patient and strains from contact pairs gave identical results. The test results were reproducible, when the strains were exchanged between the two participating laboratories. The reagents distinguished Neisseria gonorrhoeae from other Neisseria species and other oxidase-positive bacteria. The potential of serogrouping gonococci for epidemiological studies by means of the co-agglutination method is discussed.
在瑞典中部两个不同地理区域（斯德哥尔摩和厄勒布鲁县）的两个相应时间段分离出的淋球菌菌株，使用覆盖先前描述的血清群W I、W II和W III的试剂，通过协同凝集法进行血清分组。所有测试菌株均可分组。在所研究的两个地理区域之间发现了显著差异。同一患者不同部位的分离株以及接触对中的菌株给出了相同的结果。当菌株在两个参与实验室之间交换时，测试结果具有可重复性。这些试剂可区分淋病奈瑟菌与其他奈瑟菌属物种以及其他氧化酶阳性细菌。讨论了通过协同凝集法对淋球菌进行血清分组用于流行病学研究的潜力。
