The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the growth precipitation (GP) test for routine identification. The test was performed as described by (1978) which is a modification of the method of (1972). On the basis of examination of 82 strains, using indirect immunofluorescence (IMF) and growth inhibition (GI) as well as GP tests it is concluded that the GP test seems to be very useful for species identification in the genus Acholeplasma, as this method displayed fewer cross-reactions between species than the other 2 tests. When applied to the genus Mycoplasma, however, the GP test is not species-specific, due to cross reactions observed within the group of arginine positive and within the group of glucose and scrum digestion positive species. In the genus Mycoplasma the method can only be used as a screening tool, and final identification is in general based on growth inhibition and immunofluorescence.
本文旨在评估用于常规鉴定的生长沉淀（GP）试验。该试验按照（1978年）所述进行，此方法是对（1972年）方法的改进。通过对82株菌株进行检测，采用间接免疫荧光（IMF）、生长抑制（GI）以及GP试验，得出结论：GP试验对于无胆甾原体属的菌种鉴定似乎非常有用，因为该方法与其他两种试验相比，种间交叉反应较少。然而，当应用于支原体属时，由于在精氨酸阳性组以及葡萄糖和血清消化阳性组内观察到交叉反应，GP试验并非种特异性的。在支原体属中，该方法仅可作为一种筛选工具，最终鉴定通常基于生长抑制和免疫荧光。
