Wheat-germ agglutination (WGA) was used to identify 168 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and 105 strains of other Neisseria species in a routine laboratory. About one-third of the meningococci reacted with the lectin and titres with some organisms varied on repeat testing. The technique is regarded as unreliable for the identification of Neisseria species.
在一个常规实验室中,采用麦胚凝集素(WGA)对168株淋病奈瑟菌和105株其他奈瑟菌属菌株进行鉴定。约三分之一的脑膜炎奈瑟菌与该凝集素发生反应,部分菌株重复检测时滴度有所不同。该技术被认为用于鉴定奈瑟菌属物种不可靠。
